Andy Griffith's response for Barney was a shower.

Well that just goes to show you what liberal nanny state progressives will do to a great country. For years people drank coffee to sober up.

Now the grant junkies, state AGs and trial attorneys would sue Andy for making him a soggy drunk.

Yea, they would, and back then it would have been tough to sue Maxwell House for the misuse of it’s intended purpose. It’s a heck of a transition to witness this failure of personal responsibility.

Coffee doesn't sober people up, it just helps keep them from passing out. Granted if you are driving drunk it's probably better to be semi-alert with impaired reflexes than completely asleep, but the only thing that sobers a person up is time.
