In fact, in the spirit of sharing a life of abundance, we encourage those in recovery to bring "non program" loved ones on these enlightening trips.

The only way to sober up is allowing the liver to function over time. The liver is able to process and remove 1 ounce of alcohol per hour. Despite popular belief, there is no way of speeding up this process. Cold water, cold showers, coffee, exercise or oxygen will not help you sober up. Even after you are sober and have no measurable alcohol in blood, your coordination, reflexes and perception may be affected for up to 72 hours.

What is a French Press/Cafetiere/Bodum French presses are usually glass containers with a wire mesh attached to a plunger.

It has been stated that a cup or two of coffee a day won't do any harm. However, for overall health reasons many on the diet have cut caffeine out completely and prefer to avoid it altogether.

Once the alcohol is in your bloodstream, nothing can speed the rate of metabolism. Not sleep. Not caffeine. Not food. Not water. So all you can really do is wait. Give yourself time to sober up if you've been drinking. Stop drinking or switch to water or soft drinks before you have to leave the party.
