Step 1
Keep quiet but not too quiet. You have to regulate the amount of talking they do to act sober. If a person talks too much they will give the sobriety charade away for sure. However if you sit there saying next to nothing this can be a dead giveaway as well. So talk enough to be a part of the conservation but do not go on rants or make speeches. Also, talking too loudly is a clear indication that you have been overserved.

Step 2
Stay as inactive as possible. In order to avoid the potential ambulatory pitfalls, a person acting sober must try to limit the amount of movement they make. Find a decently trafficked area and stay there. Do not hide away in a dark corner because that can be detrimental to the sober act as well.

Step 3
Take shallow breaths. When a person takes deep breathes this make the blood flow increase and allows the alcohol in the blood stream to become more active.

Step 4
Find a fixed point like a spot on the wall and concentrate on it. This keeps a person's equilibrium in check and keeps them in balance. However, do not stare too much at the fixed point because that will be a sign you aren't sober.

Step 5
Use momentum when walking to maintain the illusion of sobriety, if a person slows down when walking it can lead to some missteps. Use momentum to keep moving forward to the intended destination.
