5 Bad Ways to Wake Up an Intoxicated Person | Uratex Blog

We all have that one friend that never seems to get drunk. We might never fully understand how these so-called high-functioning alcoholics can ingest all that booze without “losing it”. But their tolerance is not the concern of our discussion today. The point is that though there are others who can handle their affairs with cool nonchalance, there are drinkers out there whose drunkenness border unconsciousness.  Sleeping intoxicated is a bad thing to begin with, and waking up a sloshed person is a hard thing to do, especially if cooperation is not present.

One bad way to make sure that a person sobers up after a drinking session is to make him drink coffee.  Caffeine is known as a central nervous system stimulant and is very effective in making people alert and sleepless if need be.  But using this to reduce intoxication will only result in getting the person increasingly anxious and on edge.  The caffeine-alcohol combination will lead to unpleasant stimuli, so it would be best if you leave coffee out of these kinds of situations.
