Question 5217
Are drinking coffee or tea effective strategies for reducing your blood alcohol level?
- No, but chewing coffee beans does reduce the blood alcohol level.
- No.
- Yes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. Neither coffee nor tea lowers your alcohol level, and chewing coffee beans does not fool the breathalyzer either, because it measures the alcohol coming out of your lungs, which comes from your blood. Coffee may make you feel a little less sleepy for a while, but your alcohol level and reflexes stay the same. Only time lowers your alcohol level.
