Does drinking coffee decrease the chances of an alcohol overdose

Drinking coffee DO NOT decrease the chances of an alcohol overdose. Only the passage of time can decrease the overdose. The human body cannot take up a high percent of alcohol that is why most people who get drunk by alcohol ended up either vomiting or passing out. Alcohol dampens the nerves that regulates involuntary action such as gag reflex and breathing. There is danger in vomiting since the person can be choked which lead to asphyxiation to a person who is unconscious and could result to death. When a person passes out, it’s BAC or blood alcohol concentration rises. Even if the person stops drinking, alcohol in the system continues to circulate in the stomach and in the intestine that is why it is not safe to assume that a drunk person is better of sleeping to make it go away.
