Not much “in the moment” – alcohol still takes an hour per unit to metablozie/filter with the liver.

But the water will (may) dilute the alcohol in the stomach and MAY slow the absorption of not yet absorbed alcohol in the stomach -but it doesn’t help make them sober.

The same premiae applies if you drink an alcoholic drink, then drink a glass of water before another alcoholic drink. It phyaically takes up space in your stomach and dilutes the alcohol, thus slowing( to what actual extent is unknown) the rate if GETTING drunk.
