A member asked:
Could someones blood alcohol level be manipulated by eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Alcohol is metabolized by the liver. Eating will not speed up this metabolism so the blood alcohol level can't be manipulated in this way. However, eating when drinking can help with the sick feeling you may get.
