There are quite a few myths that have been associated with alcohol and drinking. Below are just a few of the myths that have been acquainted with alcohol and the real truth to each of them.
1. The way to sober up faster is black coffee and a cold shower!
Although this may make you feel more awake, the only real way to sober up is to give yourself some time. A cold shower makes you feel like you aren't drunk anymore, but this is a myth. There is no secret cure to being able to sober up faster. The only thing you can do is give your liver time to digest all of the alcohol in your system.
2. Alcohol raises the body temperature when you first start drinking!
Although it may seem like you feel warmer when you are drinking, your core body temperature is actually dropping in the temperature. When you drink, your body pushes all of the blood to the service of your skin which is why you feel so much warmer when you are drinking. Because all of the blood is being pushed to the service, its being pushed away from the core body so your temperature inevitably drops.
3. Some people drive better after drinking a little bit.
This is completely not true. Although you might seem more confident after drinking this does not, by any means, mean that you are a better driver. Alcohol will often take away your inhibitions so that you feel as though you are on top of the world. Even if you have had a little bit or a lot you will not be ok to drive. It might look as though you are a better driver, but you are actually being hindered by the alcohol that is in your system.
4. If you eat a meal before you drink, it will stop you from getting so drunk
This again is a big myth. Food doesn't keep you from getting so drunk, it just slows things down. When you start drinking alcohol, it goes straight to your stomach. If you drink on a full stomach, then the food absorbs the alcohol and it takes quite a while longer for the alcohol to be absorbed into the blood stream.
These are just some of the many myths that have circulated out there about alcohol and drinking. You just need to know exactly what you are getting into when you start drinking.
