How can an intoxicated person speed up the process of removing alcohol from the body?

By drinking lots of water
There is no way to speed up the process
Exercising vigorously
Consuming caffeine

The correct answer is: There is no way to speed up the process

While drinking water, exercising, and consuming caffeine may help alleviate symptoms of intoxication, they do not speed up the process of removing alcohol from the body. The liver is the only organ responsible for metabolizing alcohol and it can only process a set amount per hour. Consuming more fluids or stimulating the body in other ways does not increase the liver's ability to metabolize alcohol faster. In fact, these actions could potentially be harmful to a person's health while intoxicated. Therefore, the best course of action is to wait until the liver metabolizes the alcohol naturally.
