sober up

The act of pretending not to be inebriated when passing officials, parents, or anyone else you would rather not be faded around. (does not necessarily only apply to those under-age)

For example: |Spot a policeman| Sober up!

Sober-up Beer

Typically, the last beer of the evening, the sober-up beer, is perfect for when you're either overserved or too full and need just one more before you go home. A watery, domestic light beer usually fits the bill as it perfectly balances hops, barley, and hydration.

"Hey Mike, do you need another drink? No, I've got an early morning…make it a sober-up beer."
