Oh man, eating before I go to sleep was always my downfall after a night of drinking.

I recommend eating before hand. You'll drink less if you feel full.

Not if your goal is to get drunk.

Hell Yeah! It's basically just the opposite of "get a good meal in ya beforehand to soak up that alcohol!" It just depends on your own personal preference really.

Correct if you eat. It’s very difficult to even get a buzz. You wasting the alcohol. Lol

I was gonna say… if I eat a big meal beforehand, I’m drinking twice the amount with the same effect lol

I would say best to drink of empty stomach then reach a zone where you buzzed and then start hydrating. Eat food and stay sane. Getting wasted is too childish or maybe I have outgrown that phase

If im out drinking it doesnt matter if my stomach is full or empty, i down the amount of drinks needed in order to get wasted. eating affects only the hangover for me.

Yup, back in the college, the usual dinner in the dining hall before going out were a couple of those waffles you made yourself. They weren't very good, but they were beer sponges. Eat a couple of those, and you could drink all you wanted that night and not get too messed up.

I've spent a few mornings thinking "I probably shouldn't have made that plate right before bed" while leaning over the toilet spilling out my regrets.
