Can coffee make your BAC go down?
No. It usually takes one hour per drink to leave your system, so 5 drinks would take five hours to leave your system completely. Although the caffeine in the coffee may help you feel more alert, it will not lower your BAC.
What alcohol doesn't make breath smell?
The most commonly referred to beverage that doesn't actually have much of a smell is Vodka. Vodka tends not to leave a alcoholic breath nor does it really smell (the cheap stuff perhaps).
Also, alcohol mixed with juice, wine, fruit or soda's don't really smell much like alcohol but rather the juice, wine or soda. Try Sangria for example, you think you're having lemonade but it's really a fruitwine.
Others are: winecoolers, spiked lemonade drinks, acoholic fruit beverages, etc.
How can you take antabuse and still drink?
Some people are more resistant to the effects of antabuse than others, some cheat on their dosage, and some are willing to put up with the discomfort -- which is in proportion to how much and how rapidly you drink.
This shows how powerful alcohol addiction can be, BTW.
Can drinking a lot of water flush alcohol out of you system fast?
No, It immediately enters the blood stream then is processed through your liver. If your liver is impaired it can take longer. The alcohol rate of absorption is also influenced by whether you started drinking on a full or empty stomach. An average weight man can drink approx. 1.5 ounces of alcohol and process it within an hour. An average weight woman 1ounce per hour. Water will help prevent dehydration while drinking which is the main cause of a hangover.

Why 70 percent alcohol are more potent than 80 percent alcohol?
You have been misinformed. The more alcohol, the more "potent" the drink, period. It may be that the particular drink mixed with 140 proof (70%) uses more liquor than the one made with 160 proof (80%). Either would be plenty potent, and would require a lot of mixer to mask the flavor of that much alcohol.
If you meant 70 and 80 proof, the same remarks would apply except for the mixer.
How long after having a drink can you drive?
Actually, there is no time limit on when one can drive after drinking. There are different opinion on how long to wait while drunk before you can drive. It is always safe to wait until you feel you are no longer intoxicated.
How do you lower your BAC level?
Alcohol affects the nervous system, along with every other cell in the body. The best way to counter the effect is not to drink it. Over time, with good health care, many of the effects can be arrested or reversed.
If you are referring to the immediate effects of drinking, such as getting drunk and the associated behavior and loss of faculties, the best solution, again, is to stop drinking and sober up. The body eliminates alcohol at the rate of 1/3 ounce per hour, more or less, regardless of what else you do. Until the level of alcohol in your blood drops sufficiently, you will remain under its influence.
Don't let my language give you the idea that I don't approve of drinking. It's none of my business. However, alcohol is a neurotoxin, and I tell it like it is.
Does alcohol cause memory lose?
There are two forms of alcohol blackout. In one (en bloc) blackout, the person experiences amnesia covering the entire period of intoxication whereas in fragmentary blackout the person experiences partial amnesia of that period. The latter are more common than the former
.
It is important that blackouts not be confused with being passed out or being unconscious. When people are passed out, they are not conscious of what is going on during that period of time. On the other hand, people who suffer a blackout are experiencing amnesia; they were conscious and aware of what was going on while intoxicated but now they can't remember what happened.
Blackouts are caused by interference with the ability to transfer memories from short-term into long-term memory. Memory should return to normal after sobering up, but the "lost" memories may or may not surface later.
You should know that alcoholic blackouts are one of the primary signs of developing alcoholism.
How long for a heavy drinker to metabolize 10 drinks?
First we need to define "drink."
A standard drink is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons), roughly one shot of 80-proof, 5 ounces of wine, or one 12-oz. American beer. It is based on the amount of alcohol that a healthy liver can metabolize in one hour. Therefore, 1 drink = 1 hour to clear from the body.
The problem is that "heavy drinkers" rarely drink standard drinks if they can help it. They order doubles, cocktails with more than one shot of booze, boilermakers and so forth. Therefore the term "drink" is pretty vague, and there is no way we can give a precise answer to your question.

Do sweet drinks make you drunk faster?
it will depend on the alcohol content compared to other drinks. the reason people tend to get drunk faster on sweet drinks such as alco-pops is that they are easy to drink so you drink more of it faster. So it's the amount you drink and speed you drink it that gets you drunk faster. But given a certain amount of alcohol ingested, if it is enough to make you drunk under ordinary circumstanaces, it will make you drunk - and deathly ill to boot - if it is heavily laced with sugar.
Say that four straight glasses of white rum will make you reeling drunk. Four straight Bahama Mommas with the same amount of rum will make you reeling drunk and miserably sick , too.
Can you drink alcohol or beer if you only have one kidney?
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning that it causes dehydration. The liquid in beer is not, by itself, sufficient to replace the water that alcohol removes from your system. Drinking large amounts always results in dehydration, which is one of the major factors in hangovers.
As you are no doubt aware, people with reduced kidney function, or a tendency toward kidney problems (or, in your case, with no spare to depend on) need to be especially careful to keep themselves hydrated. That applies to hot weather, exercise, and also to drinking. One should drink plenty of water along with whatever alcoholic beverage they choose.
So there are the facts. You will have to answer the question for yourself.
