Everyone knows eating before alcohol makes you less drunk, but I’ve always been curious if it’s the actual volume of food that you eat that slows down the rate alcohol is absorbed into your bloodstream or the contents of the food. Would drinking after 200g cucumber vs 200g pasta make a difference, for example? What about drinks? If I have a 500ml coffee post drinking, will I be drunk as fast as if I had eaten 500g of some solid food? Do foods with high fat content or sodium or carb or sugars change the rate your BAC increases at?
Thanks to anyone who replies! I need someone smarter then me to break this down 🙂

It also keeps it longer in your stomache which absorbes less alcohol than the intestine. You still absorb the same amount of alcohol.
