Can the blood alcohol level be reduced by drinking a lot of water or smoking?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, this is completely false. Blood alcohol levels cannot be reduced by home remedies such as drinking water, drinking coffee, exercising, or smoking. Alcohol is almost entirely eliminated (90-95%) through metabolism in the liver, a physiological process that occurs at a slow, constant rate and cannot be externally accelerated. Drinking water helps with hydration and urine production, but it does not remove alcohol that is already in the bloodstream. The only effective factor for lowering the level is the passage of time.
