Is it okiay to drink wine after having already drank beer or is that bad?

Question

There was some sort of poem we used to know that was something like "beer after wine is ........but wine before beer is......" but we can't remember it.

Answer 1

I've done it a few times and I've never felt sick from it.

Answer 2

It really doesn't matter what order you drink in. All alcohol has calories - alcohol is a body fuel source and is chock full of calories. So you get relatively the same amount of calories from a single serving of beer, wine or hard liquor.

There isn't any difference in how quickly the alcohol absorbs really - alcohol is alcohol. The only thing that would make a difference is if you ate food with it.

Something to consider though is that a single serving of say beer is 8oz while a single serving (same alcohol content that is) of rum would be 1oz. So you could hammer down 8 shots of rum and feel "as full" as drinking one 8oz glass of beer - but you would be much more drunk. So I suppose from that point of view it's safer to start with the beer - to fill your stomach and prevent you from drinking a ton more in a short period of time - and then go on to harder alcohol where you can't fit much more in your stomach.

If instead you went with the shots, you could drink a lot of shots before your stomach started to feel full. If you then switched to beer, it would be too late, you'd already be over the legal limit.

Wine is in the middle of the two as far as alcoholic content goes.

You should never mix if you're drinking in excess. And it's "beer before liquor, never sicker, liquor before beer, all is clear". I'd recommend drinking beer last. It adds calories to your stomach, which gives something for your stomach to digest since wine is significantly less value.

Answer 4

Wine and Beer are both sissy drinks so it doesn't matter :P

Ok, seriously tho.. I really don't know the answer.

Now if it was Beer and Liquor. ALWAYS drink the Liquor first. Save the cheep @@@ beer for last.

Answer 7

Alcohol is alcohol. I know of no legit studies that talk about the effects of order in drunkenness.

Drink in moderation and you'll be fine no matter what you decide. : )
