Fastest and Easiest Ways to Sober Up Quick
Quick and easy tricks to go back to normal quickly after a hard night of partying. Will have you on your feet in no time.
The following list contains tricks and ideas of how to sober up quick after a hard night of partying or a drinking binge. I hope you find this list helpful the next time you get drunk and you are able to sober of quick. Good Luck!
-
Early Defense Measure
The early defense measure is the idea of taking some sort of preventative pill such as the chaser pill. It will help control your hang over the next morning and help you sober up a lot quicker. You will have a much shorter recovery time and should be on your feet in no time. Also you should drink a lot of water before and after drinking. This will prevent you from getting dehydrated and prevent a terrible headache.
-
Exercise
It may seem bizarre, but exercise is a great way to get sober. It helps get your body alert and awake. It gets your blood pumping and your body working. It can help you get control of your body and make you less shaky. If you exercise before driving you should be able to maintain better control over the vehicle and stay alert. You should still never drive drunk because you are never 100% even after exercising.
-
Energy Jolt
Energy Jolt has to do with the idea of waking you body and mind up and stimulating you senses. It allows you to become alert and functional. You can do this by drinking caffeine such as coffee or an energy drink. This will taste really good after a night of drinking and really wake you up. It will also speed up your metabolism and get the alcohol out of your system faster. But watch out the caffeine will dehydrate you even more.
-
Willing Yourself Sober
This may sound crazy but it works. Through meditation and concentration you can will your self sober. It may take a while and take a lot of concentration but it is possible. You need to clear your mind and think about being sober and try to act normal. Once you start and really try you can eventually feel yourself becoming sober and alert. You start to feel normal again.
-
Sleeping
By far sleeping is the best way to become sober. It allows your body to rest and allows it to clear the alcohol out of your system and cleanse it. The longer you sleep the better you will feel in the morning. If you get enough rest you should be able to go on with your day normally without feeling really sick or weird.
-
Eating
Always eat a full meal and drink a lot of water before and after drinking. It will help absorb some of the alcohol and drink more before becoming drunk. It will also help you sober up faster and feel better in the morning. It will help so you don’t have terrible hangovers and keep you from becoming dehydrated.
(Remember you should never do anything stupid while drunk and never drive a vehicle. Dumb decisions can hurt you and the people around you so always make smart decisions and are responsible.)

As a addictions counsellor, this article is bogus. the only thing that will sober a person up is time. do not drive after drinking, do not think that exercizing will get you sober faster, Alcohol is still in your system and you are just then a awake drunk… same with drinking a high caffine drink… poly drug use is not the answer and is also dangerous.

Ok, so I’m drunk…. These are all reltively useful though the reason is such that telling ou makes it useless. Relaxing and breathing are realy good aids also.

dont take a hot bath/shower, heat intensifies the drunk feeling. so if you think a shower will do it, then it better be cold. Eating and drinking dont make you sober, only time does, but drinking water does help a little, and even if you puke, it doesnt eliminate the alcohol, it just make you feel better. And dont listen to this retard, dont ever drink and drive, sorry buddy but exercize wont help. And you shouldnt be condoning driving under the influence. If you do, then your stupid, cause you wont need to know how to get sober when your dead =]

YOU NEED TO GET TO A COUNSELOR IF YOU ARE DRINKING. DRINKING DOESN’T HELP YOU WITH PROBLEMS YOU CAN’T DEAL WITH. TALK WITH YOU R PARENTS THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OR MAYBE EVEN GET YOU SOME HELP. IF YOUR PARENTS DON’T TRUST YOU TELL THEM THAT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM AND THAT YOU WANT TO GET SOME HELP. TALKING TO AN ADULT YOU FEEL CLOSE TO MIGHT ALSO HELP AS LONG AS YOU GET SOME HELP YOU’LL BE OKAY. iF YOU LIKE TO GO TO PARTIES BRING A POP OR ENERGY DRINK SO THAT YOU WON’T BE TEMPTED TO DRINK. PEER PRESSURE CAN GET VERY DANGEROUS SO DON’T GET INTO A PATTERN OF LISTENING TO YOUR PEERS. YOU DON’T NEED TO ACT COOL IN FRONT OF THEM. TAKE A COUPLE DAYS TO RELAX, STAY HOME FROM SCHOOL IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING TYPES OF FEELINGS THAT RELATE TO SUICIDE. IT ISN’T THE ANSWER. THE REASON I STARTED WRITING ABOUT SUICIDE IS BECAUSE DRINKING MAKES YOU FEEL DEPRESSED. sO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE AND GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK. YOU ARE STILL YOUNG AND YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE WHO YOU ARE.

KS thats nice what your doing, but getting drunk is not always a sign someone has a problem… its a social act….sure everything you say is correct about speaking to an adult…..im a youth worker and qualified counselor, and what you are advising simple things the teachers tell you at high school, any way my point is just because youth go to parties and get drunk with there mates….. doesnt mean there depressed, or are suicidal….. your right drinking is a depressent…. but if there not depressed to beginw ith the worst thing that will happen is they will cry to there friends and more often then not….bond and have a great chat…. truth is i dont condone under age drinking, binge drinking, or drink driving….or the person who wrote this stupid article…… but kids are kids…. they wana grow up fast…and do the things there not aloud…. the hang over will make them think twice about doing it again

These “counselors” are stupid. I’m a medical student and have more practical insights that don’t just give generalized conservative BS to make you think you need to lie in bed and not do anything to change your state of mind. Exercising does make you sober up faster- the problem is exercise is near impossible when inebriated. if you reach a point where you can shoot some hoops or kick around a soccer ball without vomiting, your metabolism increases.
chemically speaking, the rate of all the reactions in your body increase with a quicker blood flow and greater respiration rate (O2 accepting electrons= more breathing), resulting in faster formulation of products. ethanol is converted into acetaldehyde quicker, which in turn is converted into acetate/acetic acid quicker. your enzymes are replenished, substrate wise, and they can accommodate this influx better with more electron accepting oxygen. this dual-oxidation reaction is only increased by increased blood flow to the liver. again, if you won’t throw up, a vitamin, plenty of water, and exercise will decrease the duration of a hangover significantly.
Asad | Apr 14, 2009 | Reply
Not to mention, sweating releases toxins from the body, and will remove excess water that you have retained because of rebound adema from the diuretic effects of alcohol.
Homeostasis is the key feature that governs our bodies. Remember that, and don’t rely on relatively physiologically untrained counselors that want you to find jesus to feel better. Be realistic, and use actual medical knowledge to fuel your recovery.
Most importantly, know your limits and don’t drink (or at all) so much next time!

The person who typed in capitals needs to get a counsellor to control their shouting. or a drink – that might help them

hahaha, im reading this because im 16 and my friend just called me saying shes drunk with her friends and she needs to get picked up,and asked me how to sober up. This are not ways TO sober up but they might help you look like your not drunk in front of your parents.. if you are under age drinking, but if your an adult.. why do you need this?, i don’t drink so i don’t need it either.. and also.. Why in the world would counselors and medical students be reading this?? are you in the need to sober up?? for reals

Dear KS, Your insights on the matter mean nothing. You have no medical or psychological skills what so ever… Please dont try giving advice on something you have absolutely no idea about. Wrong advice only hurts people in the long run.
P.S.: Asad thank your for your medical view on the topic. You had nothing but the facts. Anyone reading this should take everything you (Asad) said to heart.
P.S.S.: DONT DRINK AND DRIVE

I\’m reading this and it\’s so ridiculous, there is no way to sober up quickly, time and only time will fix. The more you drank the longer the rehabilitation period will last, and a good idea that I read on here that taking a walk or get yourslef moving away from just thinking that you don\’t feel good. Be around positive people, or animals take your mind from thinking. AND FOR SURE DO NOT GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE, every city has a drunk cab, or a bus on the short end, we are all human and can be humble. Because drunk driving is so dangerous, there\’s little kids running around, playing, can you imagine that because the poor sick YOU drove, one of those innocent creatures will be hurt…. Please think about it!
In most cases, no matter your weight, after drinking you can be considered drunk withing the next 24 hours. The blood test will for sure tell!
My whole life I had to deal with drunks, and they tend to mask it so good. My daddy is a drunk and has been drinking all of his life, he is loosing organs due to drinking (gall bladder, bad blood presure problems), he lost my mother due to drinking, now he lives with a a woamn that I can say is just a drinking buddy of his, and I\’m saddened to realize that he\’ll be gone, even though he is functioning just fine. And another sad thing I can say that a guy I loved more than myself past away, due to the same problem…
Maybe I\’m rambelling too much, but the only reason I write is that I really hope someone will read and not drinking just for one day, and maybe it will turn to years…. Hope is the last thing to die!

My son just turned 18. Last summer he had his first drinking experience. He came home with skinned knees because he had to crawl to his friends car so he could get home. He was sick, he cried like a baby.
Let me tell all of you kids. I was heart sick. My baby was so helpless again. I had to wash his cuts and help him out of bed to puke. I thought he might die. This is what your parents worry about. It isn’t about control, it is about safety. To say anything else is just dumb, and that is why you were assigned a set of parents in the first place.
Go home and thank your parents for loving you so much that it angers them when you do something stupid and illegal like drinking. If they aren’t upset, then they don’t care enough about your well being and should be ashamed of themselves.
And stop trying to give your parens a heart attack!!

wow you guys are so smart , drinking tea and doing cardio with sober you up fast , you sweat out the booze while replacing it with the water in the tea. Tea gets in your system fast. I have an important appointment i did it for 2 hours im bout to take a shower and go to it common sense.

i think half the people who commented on this post were drunk lol so i\’m adding to the list of drunken ness also fyi the reason you feel drunk is because the alcohol dehydrates you so really the best way to sober yourself up is to drink water even tho it\’ll probably make you gag a lil in the long run its good

whoever wrote this is a moron. what are you twelve? the only thing on that list that’s even a little effective is eating. the rest are either a waste of time or they have the opposite effect.

I was always told that eating starchy foods before hand would prevent you from getting out of your face too much. Anyway, I was drunk like really bad just there and like ten minutes I threw up and now I still feel a tiny bit tipsy but overall not nearly as bad as before.

aight yall, i kno a lot of people are saying stuff about sobering up quickly, and i kno more are saying that there’s no way to sober up quickly, but hear me out
I just turned in a 12 page paper four days ago about alcoholism and alcohol, it takes three hours to sober up from the effects of two beers, and there is NOTHING that can speed that up.
thx if you read

You’re an idiot. The next time you wanna act like you have some credibility, learn how to spell. You made a grammatical error after the first 3 words, you misspelled counselor, caffeine, and several other words. I think you were drunk when you posed that.
Nobody listen to this fool.
