Myth: Eating before you drink will prevent you from getting as drunk.
Fact: Eating before you drink only delays absorption of alcohol, so it just takes you longer to reach the same level of intoxication.
Alcohol is absorbed (well, about 80% of it) directly from the small intestine- no digestion required. So, if there is food in the stomach that absorbs some of the alcohol, it slows transit from the stomach to small intestine. But, in the end, the same amount will eventually be absorbed.
Happy Friday!!: Eat, drink, and be merry - and then have a healthy, nutrient packed breakfast in the morning!!!
I know, I even annoy myself sometimes.
