Do you have a 'get sober quickly' trick/ritual?

Played in a small tournament last night, went undefeated and had to sit for 6 games to let the 'losers bracket' finish out. Had been doing irish car bombs with a seperate Guinness on the side all night and then it hit me... I was kind of drunk. Ordinarily this is fine but getting drunk while cooling down is an issue for me, so I shot around on a spare table and as I feared... I was missing just about everything.

Luckily the bar serves pretzels, so I ate a bag, chugged a water and regained a good bit of my motor skills. Finished out the next game and won. For some reason pretzels and water sober me up a great deal if I'm just 'kind of drunk.'

What tricks do you all use? (I know the best policy is to drink moderatley or not at all but I had just finished all my college assignments for the week and was celebrating lol)

swallow the cue ball , by the time it passes , you'll be sober and ready for the next shot.
Just pop it out , right there on the table.

B6? How? Where? Please show me the biochemistry and cell biology.

Chronic alcohol abuse can deplete your B6 essentially because of liver damage. But B6 has nothing to do with metabolizing alcohol.

The cofactor for alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, the enzymes in alcohol metabolism, is NAD, which is essentially B3.

There is really nothing you can do to speed up alcohol metabolism, it is metabolized at a constant rate. If you already have liver damage you may metabolize it more slowly.

Activated charcoal is a cute idea. Two problems there. Activated charcoal does not absorb alcohol to any appreciable degree, and alcohol, once swallowed, is absorbed extremely fast.

Even in severe alcohol toxicity we rarely if ever use activated charcoal, and when we do it is really to absorb other toxins the person may have potentially ingested.

Hey Doc Here's one for ya. My sister in law was a hard core alcoholic towards the end of her life. One time she was found wandering the streets of New York naked from the waist down and so drunk they brought her to the emergency room. When they did a BAC test she was .55! The docs were shocked so they immediately ran the BAC test again. Yep it came back .55! Sadly she was eventually murdered by one of her homeless buddies. He shook her so violently she suffered shaken baby syndrome. They put her on life support so her daughter's could say good bye and died shortly after being unhooked. That remains the highest BAC I have ever heard of!!!
