I find it funny how you can debunk an actual scientific study (albiet a poorly done one at that) by just saying that its crap. What they are saying is essentially that sleeping does not increase the rate at which your body processes alcohol. Actually the reverse is true from my understanding, since when you sleep your metabolism slows it should take longer for your body to process the alcohol.

I was part of the U.S. professional drinking team (aka US Navy Submarine Service) for over 6 years.

punani = cooter
