I sometimes find myself drinking several shots in a night. I am never able to eat while or just after drinking. I think maybe my body thinks it has eaten already.

I took a a course for "Drugs in the Community " in my school;yes , according to the FDA,alcoholic beverages are considered "food" products.

Alcohol has calories/carbs but is not considered a food. It's a beverage like water. You might say a smoothie is a beverage but it's not!
But I have a question if you eat FIRST does it fool your body into not wanting a drink?

I am on the LA weight loss plan and a beer counts as a starch, so yes alcohol does contain food groups. Starch, sugar, salt...etc. I think you need to eat first, then drink.

With all of the yeast ,barley and hops in beer it could be considered as liquid bread . The reason that you feel full is because the alchohol is turned into sugars .

No -- at least not according to my state's tax laws. :-)
Actually, alcohol does have calories in it. While it's not the healthiest thing to do, you can get quite a bit of your daily nutrition from drinking.

No it's probably because alcohol acts like a sedative and slows you down. It does have calories but mostly carb calories.

you mean like, if you're trying to watch your weight? alcohol is metabolized in the body like fat. if you're drinking beer, because of all of the grains etc in it you need to add a starch (carb) in there too.

your body considers them a food as they break down to form sugars
