Can I sober up after taking a shower when I'm drunk

Taking a shower after getting drunk is generally not advisable and may increase health risks. Taking a shower after getting drunk may cause hypoglycemia, falls, or cardiovascular accidents, especially cold showers can stimulate blood vessel constriction. The rate at which the body metabolizes alcohol while intoxicated is mainly determined by the liver, and bathing cannot accelerate this process. Hot baths may cause vasodilation, blood pressure drop, and exacerbate dizziness and fatigue; Cold showers may trigger stress reactions, posing a greater risk to patients with hypertension or heart disease. Alcohol can inhibit the central nervous system, and temperature changes during bathing may increase the burden on the body. Some people mistakenly believe that taking a shower can eliminate alcohol through sweating, but in reality, the amount of alcohol excreted through sweat is negligible. After drinking alcohol, the blood vessels on the surface of the skin dilate, and it is easy to slip during bathing due to a decrease in balance. Taking a shower while vomiting after getting drunk may also cause aspiration. It is recommended to wait for at least 2 hours before taking a shower. After getting drunk, one should lie on their side to prevent aspiration, drink honey water or fruit juice in moderation to replenish water and sugar, and avoid aggravating dehydration with strong tea or coffee. It is recommended to take a shower after fully waking up, during which someone else can accompany and monitor the status. If symptoms such as persistent vomiting and blurred consciousness occur, seek medical attention immediately and do not rely on bathing to relieve alcohol.
