Is it safe to drink alcohol on an empty stomach? I hope nothing will happen
You get drunk way faster. It’s because the alcohol gets digested faster than it would if mixed with food, also the food tends to absorb some of the alcohol well. This is why people need to be careful drinking on an empty stomach. You could have one strong beer and be drunk. This happens a lot when people go out for a beer without eating, then end up being drunker than they normally would have and could be at risk for a DUI or other.
For my when I had a full stomach or at least ate, I could have several beers and not be drunk. if I didn’t eat, I could have one strong beer and feel wasted. Often put me in bad situations where I had to drive and could get a DUI because I wasn’t expecting to be drunk.
You absolutely can consume alcohol on an empty stomach. But it may increase the acidity in your stomach, but that depends entirely upon what you drink. A glass of wine will increase acidity, but a bloody mary will be just fine. Beer is quite neutral, so should not be an issue. The second issue of concern is your tolerance to alcohol. Doing three shots of tequila on an empty stomach will affect you very differently than on a full stomach. Food does not stop alcohol, it only affects the speed of absorption. You drink it, then you’re gonna have to deal with it. So three tequila shots on an empty stomach will hit you very quickly. That is completely fine for experienced drinkers, but will move newbie drinkers right to inebriation. Just drink responsibly, and know your limits.
