When you drink & then get drunk, is it bad to take a shower?

Question:

Answers:
As a general rule there should not be a problem with taking a shower if you are drunk BUT if you are too drunk there is more or a chance of slipping and falling and thereby causing broken bones and or a head injury.
There is a thought that cold showers will sober you up but that is a myth and hope for a quick cure of drunkeness.
The only way to get sober is stop your drinking for the night and get some good sleep.(Course there is always a chance of a hangover regardless of whether you are sober or not and regardless of how much sleep you get.)

Other Answers:
Not if you stink.

are you blonde? You should take a shower whether you drink or not.

Very very bad. I hear drunk people explode when you put water on them.

Haha, actually, if you're so drunk you fear you might drown yourself, you should probably avoid it. But if you're fairly competent at life and not too intoxicated, you should be fine.

Not if you plan on drowning! Yay!

Also, when do you get drunk in a situation where you haven't been drinking? Doesn't that sort of negate the word "drunk?"

only thing bad is if you lose your balance and corditation , fall and hurt yourself It depends just how drunk you are. If you're so drunk that you don't feel like you can stand up straight, obviously taking a shower probably isn't a very good idea because you could slip and hit your head or something. You have to be the judge on this one. Although since alcohol impairs judgement..

why? i guess it would be if you thought you might pass out or something like that
other wise it might be a good way to kinda sober up, a cold shower would wake ya up a bit huh?

yes your pores will dilate and the smell of the alcohol will be more pronounced..shower before drinking.. If you are really drunk,you should be careful taking a shower because your judgement is impaired.

Yes because wht if you pass out in the shower that would not be good.

It is only bad if you are going to passout/fall over.

But it does not help to sober up. only time will help.

Saves a trip to toilet to puke though.=P

No one wants to be a stinking drunk! My boyfriend takes a really hot bath if he gets too wasted. (I'm talking about sick and almost hovering over the toilet wasted!) Everytime he does it, he feels much better after.

I finally tried it because I wasn't feeling so well after a long night of drinking and bad karaoke singing. I felt so much better afterward and I didn't have that yucky sticky sweat-alcohol-from-my-pores feeling that next morning. I actually felt refreshed. It is perfectly okay to take a shower when
drinking (be careful you don't fall) But don't
take a hot bath,because there is a good
chance you may pass out and drown. I've
seen it happen to a friend.(cold shower)
Please use a Shower Seat when Showering.
