Why is it important to eat a full meal before drinking alcohol?

Food Myths & Alcohol: It used to be thought that food in the stomach or heavy fatty meal would slow down the absorption of alcohol. It was thought that this would allow people to drink more alcohol without the consequences. This is an absolutely false myth with no truth to it.
