True or False: The only way to sober up is to wait for time to pass.

True
False
Depends on the person's metabolism
Can be aided by hydration

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because the only reliable way to sober up after consuming alcohol is to allow time for the body to metabolize the alcohol. The liver processes alcohol at a consistent rate, and no external factors can significantly speed up this process. While hydration can help alleviate some symptoms of a hangover, such as dehydration, and metabolism might vary slightly among individuals, these factors do not accelerate the sobering process itself. Time remains the definitive factor in allowing the body to clear alcohol from the system. Thus, the answer accurately reflects the physiological realities of alcohol metabolism.
