Here are some tips from your Panhellenic Vice President of Risk Management, Jordan McCarthy:

Diluting alcohol with water or juices slows down absorption into your blood stream.  Carbonated beverages speed up absorption.

There is no way to sober up quickly.  Cold showers, running in place, coffee-none of these will make someone sober.  Sleep and time are the only remedies for someone who has had too much to drink.

Remember that intoxicated people can get defensive easily, so even if you are taking away their keys, do it in a non-threatening, friendly way.  If the person passes out, monitor his or her breathing to make sure it’s normal.  If the person cannot be roused, call for medical help immediately.  Constantly monitor a person while he or she sleeps.  It’s better for a person to sleep on his or her LEFT LATERAL, in case of vomiting.
