This depends on how much you have had to drink and how much you weigh.
If you are skinny then it takes less to get drunk and you sober up quicker.
If you are big (aka fat! lol!) then it takes longer to get drunk in the first place BUT it lasts longer too.
It also depends on what you mean by "sober"? How "drunk" were you in the first place? etc.
As for the banana thing I have to say no! Who told you that? That is rubish! lol! The ONLY thing that sobers you up is TIME! Not black coffee, not taking a cold shower etc. that is all non sense!
The general rule of thumb is it takes 1 hour for each drink. So if you had a drink per hour or less you may be ok. If you had a few drinks and then you might have to wait for a few hours.
This also depends on how much you had to eat before hand. If you do not eat all day and then drink you get drunk much faster than if you had eaten.
Lastly, it depends on the purpose for which you need to get sober? If it is for driving I would be really careful about it! I would not take any chances if it is for driving! The best bet for driving is to have NO alcohol in your system whatever.

Sounds like a load of nonsense to me. On average, most people can sober up one drink per hour. So if you only had one drink of typical alcohol content, one hour should be enough time to clear out your system.
To avoid hangovers, watch the sugar content. The more sugar, the worse it's gonna be. Have a tall glass of water before bed to help your body recover from the abuse.

No.
There is no way to sober up in one hour. You'd still be drunk.
Some people say to drink coffee. No, this won't sober you up. You will just be a wide-awake drunk. Your system will move faster, sure, but alcohol will still remain in it for a while.
Once your body injests alcohol, it takes several hours to work it out of your system. When you drink more, it takes longer. There is no magic pill that will make your body sober.

No it is not unless you are on the cusp of drunkeness and your body can metabolize it. Depends on food consumed, weight, sex, and gentetics plus a myriad of other factors. From your writing, I'd say....no you will not be sober in the next hour. ;)
