How quickly the body breaks down the alcohol in beer depends on the person's age and body weight, how much and what was eaten before drinking the beer and how many alcoholic drinks were consumed with how many per mille. The rule of thumb is that on average 0.1 per mille of alcohol is broken down per hour, but it is possible to speed up the process of alcohol breakdown in order to sober up more quickly.

 

It is best to drink as much water as possible, although still water works better to flush the beer out of the body as quickly as possible. If you feel slightly nauseous, you can drink ginger ale instead of water. The ginger ale dilutes the alcohol in the blood and counteracts the nausea.

 

To firm up the stomach and bind the alcohol in the body, you should eat carbohydrate-rich foods such as bread and rice. The food absorbs the alcohol and alleviates the hangover-related discomfort.

 

In order to get the alcohol out of the body more quickly later, it is advisable not to drink too many alcoholic drinks in too short a time. About one glass of beer per hour followed by a glass of mineral water afterwards makes it easier for the body to break down the alcohol.

 

You should also go for a quick walk or light jog in the fresh air to sweat out some of the alcohol through exercise.
