Like they say about coffee and liquor: it just makes you a wide awake drunk.
Indeed, there in no antidote to reverse alcohol intoxication.
There is, but it’s not sold as it would easily lead to overdose fatalities (the alcohol is still in your body poisoning you)
Source for what this is?

LSD
Citation that LSD reduces BAC!\
hint: there are none, because it most definitely doesn’t.
It won’t reduce you blood alcohol content, but you can’t get drunk. It will help you to go to sleep when the acid wears off though.
Bouncer 18 years - You might not feel drunk, but you’re still drunk. You’re just making high-octane stimulant-assisted bad decisions.
Whole buncha bullshit, with a marginal amount of truth to it.
That’s literally why they made it illegal for alcohol to have caffiene in it after some college kids died from alcohol poisioning after too many Four Lokos. The caffiene makes you feel not as drunk, despite you being FUBAR.
Ah ok so you’re getting alcohol intoxicated you just don’t feel drunk. Not sure what OP meant exactly.
Cocaine is like narcan for liquor. You’ll get alcohol poisoning before you get drunk.
This is not to imply you’re not impaired AF though. Just not drunk-type impairment. Oh, and you’re still eligible for a hangover.
This made me remember hearing about an alcohol “antidote” years ago and trying to remember what it was or even where I heard about it. I don’t want to watch Revenge of the Nerds again but I think they used it in that movie to win a contest.

When looking it up I also saw this:

Don’t know enough to know if this newer treatment seems useful.
They may not actually be referring to the state of drunkeness. alcohol is also an upper, and mixing two uppers is ill-advised
alcohol is also an upper
Uppers are stimulants. Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol
As a psychoactive depressant, it is the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages, and the second most consumed drug globally behind caffeine.[13]
you’re actually only partially correct. alcohol is a stimulant when your BAC is increasing (like it does when you’re actively drinking). it only becomes a depressant when your BAC is decreasing. pretty interesting and strange, and definitely something you don’t wanna mix with medical stimulants!
