Food effects on absorption and metabolism of alcohol

J Stud Alcohol. 1976 Sep;37(9):1197-214. doi: 10.15288/jsa.1976.37.1197.

Abstract

The concomitant ingestion of various foods with alcohol resulted in a decreased area under the blood alcohol concentration curve, a lower peak concentration and an increased time to reach peak. Michaelis-Menten kinetics indicated a decreased alcohol metabolism rate after the ingestion of carbohydrates or fats.
