Eat as much fat food as You can, old tip but works. If You don't want to, then drink some olive oil, would bring same effect :-)

Or if You're into drugs, get some coke :D:D:D j/k

eat alot before, and drink alot of water during the evening and after party! and as you already know, have a big meal before you go to bed, will do wonders for the hungover the day after!
Really, play for fun!

Eating A LOT is not the best idea, because you might throw up (even if you don't feel drunk).

Fatty, greasy, oily foods are the best.

Drink lots of water during the day...make sure you're hydrated.

It's also best to spread your drinks out as much as possible, and to follow the old saying, "beer before liquor, never been sicker, liquor before beer, you're in the clear", but it doesn't sound like you'll be able to choose your drinks or when you drink them if it's going to be a contest.

Don't overdo it, though. Alcohol poisoning DOES happen... -_-;;

Liquor can take you by suprise if you start hammering it down after you have been drinking beer for a while.

I know eating a big meal before hand and drinking lots of water during will help. There may be specific foods that would help even more too.

Fats don't absorb anything. It just creates a coating on the stomach which lets less alcohol trough.

Seriously it makes no sense to tell people not to drink certain beverages before or after others. Unless you're talking about getting sick, then I would also not advice to drink too much chocolate milk.

Drink/eat cream which coats the stomach and makes no alcohol pass through.. after a while when the coat of fat made by the cream burst you will get the effect of all the alcohol at the same time which will make you pass out or atleast puke like a fountain but you wont be affected until then ^^

- Dont do it, i think its dangerous if you drink a shitload

145 pounds. I'd say about a dozen beers and a whiskey or 6 should ensure a delightful evening.

no, it does make sense, of course the same amount of alcohol = same amount of drunk, regardless of which order you drink them in. However if you start drinking beer and get drunk, then start downing liquor, your sense of taste and judgement will be pretty impaired which makes it pretty easy to drink way too much. Drinking way too much beer is alot harder even if u're already drunk.

Coming into this topic I thought you were seeking advice on how to avoid drinking if you're an alcoholic, quite the opposite i see.

as people have said earlier, space out your drinks, take it as slow as you can, make sure you are hydrated, eat beforehand, and of course, don't be afraid of puking.

The simple and obvious answer is to get a hold of some form of amphetamine, methylphenidate--aka ritalin, aka speed. The nature of the drug is such that it nullifies the effects of feeling "drunk", the inherent danger of course is that you won't be aware of how far gone you really are.

I'm sorry that you're already gone, but I think the best advice is to cheat. Just try to hold it together while you are drunk, and try to cheat your way out of any shot. You'll definately be able to scree over your friends

It does. That's why bread and greasy pasta may help. Bread soaks up liquids and lots of greasy food create that coating. The longer the alcohol stays in your stomach the more alcohol it can process before it goes into your blood stream.

This can however backfire if you have no experience. You will feel like you can drink all you want and hardly feel any reaction, so you will continue drinking harder than you should. At some point, the delay you created with eating a lot will be gone and you might get fucked up all of a sudden.

Also don't drink liquors until way later, start with beer if possible. A big amount of liquor soaked up in your stomach can make for a nasty surprise 2 hours later.

But generally, eating a lot is the best way to prepare, and bread and greasy carb heavy food the way to go. Just don't expect it to do wonders.

I really doubt it's about coating or "bread absorbing alcohol"~~. More like the body can only metabolize so much stuff at once and if you keep it occupied witth fat etc the alcohol will simply pass straight through and you'll piss it out. At least that's what I would guess, kind of like how you used to treat methanol poisoning with ethanol.

Fats don't absorb anything. It just creates a coating on the stomach which lets less alcohol trough.


Too bad the stomach doesn't do any absorption.

It does. That's why bread and greasy pasta may help. Bread soaks up liquids and lots of greasy food create that coating. The longer the alcohol stays in your stomach the more alcohol it can process before it goes into your blood stream.

This can however backfire if you have no experience. You will feel like you can drink all you want and hardly feel any reaction, so you will continue drinking harder than you should. At some point, the delay you created with eating a lot will be gone and you might get fucked up all of a sudden.

Also don't drink liquors until way later, start with beer if possible. A big amount of liquor soaked up in your stomach can make for a nasty surprise 2 hours later.

But generally, eating a lot is the best way to prepare, and bread and greasy carb heavy food the way to go. Just don't expect it to do wonders.

I really doubt it's about coating or "bread absorbing alcohol"~~. More like the body can only metabolize so much stuff at once and if you keep it occupied witth fat etc the alcohol will simply pass straight through and you'll piss it out. At least that's what I would guess, kind of like how you used to treat methanol poisoning with ethanol.


It actually does absorb the liquids containing the alcohol. Which will make it take longer to process all of it. The same quantity will eventually be processed but over a longer period. Seeing as your liver also gets rid of the alcohol at about the rate of a beer per hour, delaying the alcohol will actually make you "less" drunk.

Not really. Everything that you eat will inevitably be worked on by the liver before you can piss it out, it just takes longer. You are right in saying that the body can only metabolize so much stuff at once, so food makes sure you are metabolizing more than alcohol, so it goes into your blood slower. Also, greasy foods take longer to get broken down, and this increases the time during which alcohol is still not in your system, but when the liver is finally done with the fat, it's gonna get hit by everything you've been drinking at once.
