Which of the following statements about alcohol is TRUE?
Time is the only method that works to sober you up. Your liver can only process alcohol at a fixed rate of about 1 drink per hour.

Drinking black coffee or taking a cold shower have no effect on removing alcohol from your system.

One shot of whiskey is identical to one beer with respect to alcohol content.
