A few myths about drinking alcohol

We've all heard that alcohol dehydrates you. But the science tells a different story.

The real culprit is acetaldehyde, an unwanted byproduct your body creates as it breaks down alcohol. Acetaldehyde builds up in your gut, where it causes a range of unwanted effects on your body.

What other drinking myths are out there?

Myth: Order matters.

The order of alcoholic beverages doesn't matter—the amount and speed do. Your body can only process alcohol at a certain rate, so pacing (not sequencing) is what counts.

Myth: Alcohol helps you sleep.

It might help you fall asleep faster, but it disrupts your sleep cycle all night—leaving you groggy and unrested.

Myth: coffee or a cold shower can sober you up.

You might feel more awake, but you’re still intoxicated. Only time lets your body process alcohol.
