No. Alcohol takes time to metabolize.
When you drink, alcohol enters your bloodstream. The amount of alcohol in your blood is your blood alcohol content (BAC). A BAC of 0.10 means that .1 of 1% of your blood contains alcohol. The level this reaches when you drink is mostly determined by the number and timing of drinks you consume, and to a lesser extent by your gender and body size.
Your liver then eliminates alcohol from your bloodstream at a slow, predictable rate (approximately 0.015 per hour, slower if you are ill or sleep-deprived). Nothing you do will alter this rate, even eating or drinking non-alcoholic fluids.
The higher your BAC, the longer it takes to return to 0.00. Depending on how much you drink and how late, you might still have alcohol in your system through the night until morning.
Think about an occasion in the last month when you drank the most amount of alcohol. Enter on the right the number of drinks you consumed and over how many hours. Then look at the results. What was your BAC 8 hours later (when you might be waking up)? What about 10 hours later, when you were driving to work or class? How about 12 hours later, when you were meeting with your boss or professor?
If your breath smells like alcohol, it’s still in your blood and brain too.
