Question 4463
Alcohol is eliminated...
- faster while sleeping.
- at the same rate whether asleep or awake.
- more slowly while sleeping.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: more slowly while sleeping.
While you sleep, your body works more slowly, and alcohol is eliminated more slowly than when you are awake. That is why, if you drink heavily at night, you can still be over the limit in the morning even after eight hours of sleep. Sleeping does not speed anything up.
