How much does an empty stomach effect drunkeness compared to drinking after eating a meal.?

Question

I know it has an effect. but by how much. does it make 6 beers feel like 7, 8, 9 or even more?

Answer 1

Yes it does.  It raises your blood alcohol level (BAL) which is what makes you feel *drunk*.

The drinker's blood alcohol level rises as a factor of the relationship among the amount of alcohol consumed, body size and proportion of body fat, the amount of food in the stomach, and what is mixed with the alcohol. The BAL rises more rapidly in those who drink on an empty stomach. Water and fruit juices slow the absorption process, while carbon dioxide speeds it up. The carbon dioxide in champagne and carbonated mixers such as Cola, and soda water rushes through the stomach and intestinal walls into the blood stream, carrying alcohol with it and creating a rapid rise in BAL. A 0.08 BAL, for example, indicates approximately 8 parts alcohol to 10,000 parts other blood components. When a person drinks more alcohol than his or her body can eliminate, alcohol accumulates in the blood stream and the BAL rises.

Answer 2

Alot! How empty your stomach is determines how sloppy you get, whether or not you'll throw up and how bad your hangover is in the morning...
