Time is the only thing that will sober a person up, people will say caffine works, it's not true, all it does is help keep the person awake.



It is ok to let a person go to sleep if they are drunk but make sure they sleep on their side and watch them, because if they are drunk enough they can vomit in their sleep and choke to death.


Also I would suggest getting them to drink as much water as possible because when they wake up tomorrow they are going to be very hung over.


Despite what your friends who "know everything about drinking" say, hangovers are caused by dehydration. And bread does not help absorb alcohol, it merely fills your stomach which can help slow the progression of alcohol through your body, but in no way limits the total amount in your body at the time.



Alcohol is a poison, so if they can't stand up, you need to pay attention.

Make sure they don't stop breathing, they are on there stomach.

Don't get involved in something you can't deal with, that is when people die.
Hope you care enough to kill your buzz for them, cause if you are worried, there must be a reason.

Just pay attention, they most likely won't give a crap, but you know you did good.

No way to sober a passed out person.

Make sure they aren't suffering from alcohol poisoning, which means watching them, keep them awake if you can, this will go on and on into the morning.

being poisoned (drunk) by alcohol is different than actual poisoning.

Poisoning can kill.

Good luck.

They can sleep, but you can't, hahaha.



I know the prospect of giving a drunk more liquids is scary, but if they can drink water they will appreciate it more when they do wake up. Hangovers are really just dehydration. Once someone is that far gone, there is not much left to do if they don't wake up though. Just let them sleep and keep a bucket near by if they wake up.



Feed then bread. Sleep on on stomach with head to the side in case they vomit so they don't choke on it. Id even go as far as to supervise their sleep.

Honestly, if they are black-out drunk, bring them to the ER. They'll pump the drunk full of IV fluids and that will sober them up. Its expensive, but for the best.

I work in an ER.



give them bread because it can absorb the alchol and if you want to put them to sleep make sure that there lying face down or on a side NOT on there back because if they where to puke they can choke on there vomit which would not be good!



The only thing you can do is to let them sleep. Sit them up a little in case they vomit and keep an eye on them. That is a misconception that food or coffee will help sober them......only sleep!



Only time can sober a drunk person. It takes their body (liver) 1 hour to process about 2/3 an alcoholic drink. Sleep isn't harmful, it actually keeps them from drinking more.

Only time will sober a drunk person. Let them go to sleep but don't let them sleep on their back.



Make him/her puke, wash head with cold water, give strong mint candy.



i would get plenty of rest and don't drink anymore. i would maybe put a cold cloth across my head and lie down.



despite what others might say only time will do it. and its fine to let them sleep as long as its not on their back



Time.
