Delayed toxicity: Drinking alcohol after eating fatty foods may slow alchol absorption and delay toxicity. You may also have a different metabolic pathway for alcohol (genetic variation) or indirect mode of toxicity (allergic or hypersensitivity component). Don't need the extra anxiety? Don't drink alcohol!
