It depends on so many factors. What is this drink? A shot? A glass of wine? A mug of beer? Also, how tall are you? How much do you weigh? How fast is your metabolism? What type of alcohol is it? Is it a light beer, German beer, liquor, wine? For the average person, after having drunk one can/bottle of regular beer (let's say for example budweiser), they will be able to drive.

Which will help 'sober up' an intoxicated person?

Well, since (for an average person) it takes 1 hour to get rid of 1 drink from your blood system, it depends on how much they've drunk. If they're completely gone, the best think you can do is make them drink a lot of water, go to the bathroom, and then to bed. But if they're just a little buzzed or only slightly drunk, a good thing to do is splash your face with water, or eat something with a lot of carbohydrates (bread, pasta). However, this does NOT lower you BAC and will NOT make you "okay to drive". Only time can do that, unfortunately.

Why do people get addicted to drugs or alcohol?

People become addicted because drugs and alcohol (a drug) cause changes in brain chemistry. To begin with, that just makes us feel good. Eventually, the drug no longer works as well (tolerance), and we need more to feel good. We feel bad if we don't have them. Eventually they become necessary for anything like "normal" functioning.

When we need drugs just to feel normal, we are addicted, and withdrawal usually makes us feel so bad that we convince ourselves that we'll quit later -- or that we don't have a problem. Things go downhill from there.
