      Alcohol can be sweated out by much physical exercise

      Wrong! Five percent is excreted through the skin. The rest is broken down by the liver. No one can sober up faster through exercise.

      Drinking coffee sobers up faster

      Wrong! It may be that a strong coffee subjectively gives the feeling of becoming more sober. But the breakdown of alcohol by the liver is not disturbed by this.

      Energy drinks sober up faster

      Wrong! The same applies here as for coffee.

      A little sleep will sober you up faster!

      Wrong! After a short sleep some people have the feeling that they are sober again, because it doesn't turn in their head. Unfortunately a mistake. Because even during sleep between 0.1 and 0.2 per thousand per hour are broken down in the body.

      During cooking the alcohol evaporates

      Yes! It's only half the truth. The alcohol evaporates at a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius, faster than water. But there are other ingredients in the cooking or frying vessel, such as fat, meat and vegetables, which store the alcohol. After about 20 minutes of cooking or boiling time, the alcohol content is still around 40 percent.

      Alcohol warms the body

      Wrong! The potion expands the blood vessels to the peripheral parts of the body. This can create a feeling of warmth. But here, the heat is also released to the outside world. Too much alcohol can lower the body temperature by up to one degree.

      A quick drink and quickly into the realm of dreams

      Wrong! In fact, many people fall asleep faster after an evening drink because it numbs them. In the phase of alcohol decomposition, sleep then usually becomes restless and often remains dreamless. At night, there are several short awakenings. The next morning, many people feel as if they are exhausted. The alcohol usually causes a bad sleep.

      The daily glass of red wine ensures a stable, healthy heart and thus a long life

      Wrong! It is the flavonoids contained in red wine that protect the heart. But they are also contained in grape juice or tea. Eating red grapes has the same effect. If you have a fatty liver, you should avoid the daily glass of red wine. Because here the liver metabolises every gram of alcohol into fat.

      If you drink in a mess, you get a buzz faster

      Wrong! The buzz comes from the pure amount (percent) of alcohol. It does not matter to the Rotating worm from where the alcohol comes, from beer, from schnapps or liqueur.

      Drunk and small children tell the truth

      Yes! Alcohol has a different effect on each person. Some people get tired, some people get funny, some people get aggressive and some people get talkative. Inhibitions are broken down and often the "true character" comes out. Many a talker is annoyed the next day that he talked too much yesterday.

      Honey for the hangover

      Right! Fructose helps against the hangover, because then the breakdown of alcohol in the body is forced. But tomato juice can do the same. In this case, a spoonful of cooking oil should be added to the tomato juice, otherwise the effect will be lost.
