How do you decrease a person's blood alchol level?

To decrease a person's blood alcohol level, the most effective method is time, as the body metabolizes alcohol at a constant rate, typically about one standard drink per hour. Drinking water can help prevent dehydration and alleviate some symptoms of intoxication, but it does not speed up alcohol elimination. Eating food may also slow the absorption of alcohol but will not reduce the existing blood alcohol level. Ultimately, the safest approach is to allow time for the body to process the alcohol.
