Hours to Zero BAC
Time is the only factor to lower one’s Blood Alcohol Content. Coffee, cold showers etc… are all myths.
The only thing you may get is a wide awake drunk.

For example:
John Smith goes to bed at 2:00 a.m. with a BAC of .20.
- 9:00 a.m. when he gets up his BAC is .095 (legally intoxicated). What if he drives to class and gets pulled over for rolling through a stop sign?
- 3:00p.m. the next day he still has a BAC of .005.

Binge drinking ups infection risk
Booze can lower the body’s natural defenses
Going on a drinking binge could leave you wide open to infections, as well as hangovers, work suggests.
Drinking copious amounts of alcohol in one session scuppers the immune system by knocking out proteins essential for fighting off bacteria and viruses
and alcohol’s effects continue long after the party is over.

March 11, 2009
Some college women may drink excessively to gain the attention of men, but new research from Loyola Marymount University suggests that drunk women are not as attractive to men as women believe.
Science Daily reported March 11 that the majority (71 percent) of women surveyed overestimated — by an average of one-and-a-half drinks — the number of alcohol beverages men wanted their female friends, dates, or girlfriends to drink.
