What foods should I eat while drinking wine to stay sober?

There is nothing you can eat that will keep you sober if you drink enough. I used to work for the Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, and you'd be amazed how many people actually do ask this question. We tell them all the same thing: drink less, eat more, drink water.

Mostly, drink less. Start the evening with some filling starches in your belly, potatoes work well, as does hard breads like french loaf. Then, alternate one glass of wine with a glass of water.

Drinking, getting drunk in particular, dehydrates you, so alternating water and wine will help keep you hydrated, keep your belly fuller so you don't get as drunk, and will also help with the hangover the next morning!

Carb load! Okay, I think you probably know that no foods will stop you from getting drunk (if you didn't realize that until now, then just don't drink. Don't.).

But there are a few noshes you can chow on to help slow the process a little. Crackers Bread Cheese Pizza Pasta Basically, you're looking to soak up the alcohol and slow its release into the system a bit. Anything hearty will do the trick nicely.

If you keep eating throughout the night, and drink lightly the whole way through, you should hopefully be able to maintain yourself at a light buzz. (Still always be sure to sober up completely before you drive). In addition to these foods, be sure to drink lots and lots of water all night long.

In fact, if you can, alternate one glass of water after every glass of wine. It'll slow down your drunkenness, and help you to not have any hangover symptoms later. Cheers!

Personally.. if you're worried about staying sober I'd do a few things: First off I'd make sure I had a full belly... preferably something starchy like bread or pasta to keep the alcohol from going immediately into the bloodstream. Secondly I'd follow the 1 drink per hour rule. It takes an hour to metabolize each ounce of alcohol you drink.So.... Thirdly, in between glasses of alcohol I'd switch over to a "virgin" drink... like a Virgin Pina Colada, Virgin Bloody Mary etc... if you want to keep up the appearance that you're not being a "lightweight" because you need to impress your friends, family, colleagues, etc.Or.. if you don't give a rat's patootie about what anyone else thinks... opt for something like a sparkling seltzer w/lemon or lime or my favorite... Perrier w/cranberry juice and lime.

You can substitute any kind of fruit/fruit juice here. You can also so things like order a wine SPRITZERS instead of a full glass of wine, or a "shandy" ( this is an English Pub favorite and a European favorite too ) which is half beer and half lemonade, ginger beer, or carbonated fruit juice. Both of these will cut down on your alcohol intake.

There's no magic food that will keep you sober, but two things you can do are: Drink dairy before you start drinking to line your stomach and slow alcohol absorbtion down. Alternate each alcoholic drink with a non-alcoholic one (I'd suggest a glass of water if you're enjoying wine) to slow yout drinking down Note that while this might help reduce the hangover, it does NOTHING to make it safer to drink and drive. There's no way to safely drink and drive.

Don't do it.

Considering alcohol gets digested in the small intestine, something that gets digested there and slow it down. So complex carbohydrates (cornmeal, oatmeal, barley ....) would be the best solution. However ... there is no scientific proof that theere is any SIGNIFICANT impact.

There is some, but not in a way where a pund of wholeweat bread with oatmeal would absorb 10 beers ...

Eat fatty, greasy foods (mozzerella sticks, cheese, carbs, fried food, pizza, etc). They will absorb the alcohol, but remember that no matter how much you eat, if you go over your personal limit of drinks, you will get drunk - it just won't be as bad as it would if you didn't eat. At bars they serve fatty food to help sober clients up a bit, but the food does not keep the alcohol from showing up in your system, it just dulls the effects of it.

Drink plenty of water while you drink your wine (alternating water and wine is an excellent suggestion and will help keep you from getting dehydrated) and eat fatty foods (cheeses go well with wine and offer enough substance to absorb the alcohol and keep you from feeling too drunk). Take it easy and enjoy yourself!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
