Your liver breaks down alcohol at a predictable rate. Typically, this is one standard drink per hour, where one standard drink equals 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, 5 ounces of wine, or 12 ounces of beer. Neither coffee nor exercise nor a cold shower can increase that rate. If you consume alcohol at a faster rate than this, the alcohol will build up in your bloodstream and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) will increase.
