I met a Russian lady who kept bottles of very good vodka in her cooler. Anyway, she told me that they eat butter before going out to clubs so they can drink whatever they want without getting drunk. Is that true? Or maybe it just coats the stomach so you don't get sick. What do you think? Has anyone ever heard of that?

No. Alcohol absorption from the stomach is amazingly rapid and complete. It doesn't need to be metabolized or even wait to get into the duodenum. Butter is a huge load of fat, though, so you feel full for a while and therefore have less of an urge to drink.

Wow, never heard of that before. Ive heard about bread working like a sponge to absorb the alcohol. But butter, you would think is like greasy. It doesn't make sense but who knows. lol.

I sincerly doubt that butter will keep you sober since it is the alcohol affects on brain that cause you to become drunk.

Not likely, but having food in the stomach helps. Drinking will get you drunk...no way around that.

Sooner or later the alcohol will be absorbed by your body.
Why would anyone drink alcohol if they want to stay sober?
That doesn't make any sense!

I have never heard of that and can i say YUCK and GROSS. I don't see how that would help at all. I really don't see how butter would "coat" your stomach it might aid in the "flow" of your ummmmm contents.. that's just gross...

Of course it does...the butter will coat your stomach and blocks your body from absorbing alchohol....but your poop will sure sting.

Alcohol has to wear off there's nothing you can take that will make you sober.
