Estimate your level of alcohol intoxication and understand impairment symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I'm drunk?
Alcohol affects everyone differently, but common signs of intoxication include impaired coordination, slurred speech, slowed reaction time, poor judgment, and difficulty concentrating. Even at low BAC levels where you feel fine, your driving ability may be significantly impaired.
How long until I'm sober?
The body typically metabolizes alcohol at about 0.015% BAC per hour. If your BAC is 0.08%, it would take approximately 5-6 hours to reach 0.00%. This rate cannot be sped up — only time allows your body to process alcohol.
Can I sober up faster?
No. Despite common myths, coffee, cold showers, food, and exercise do not speed up alcohol metabolism. Only time allows your liver to process alcohol. These remedies may make you feel more alert but do not lower your BAC.
