Does alcohol give you a false appetite?

Some of my mates can go out after having a sandwich all day and not feel hungy at the end of the night, my partner included.

Where as i could go for a 3 course meal before i go out and at the end of the night id be starving

So Does alcohol give you a false appetite? Or are you the kinda person who doesnt want food after a night out?

Yeah it definitely does....
I HAVE to have something greasy at the end of the night... End up ordering so much food which doesnt bode well the next morning let me tell ya!!!!:D

Of course it does, it makes you want to eat no matter how full your stomach is. barsteward of a thing drink is!

Doc

I’m the complete opposite if I haven’t eaten I can go into a pub and start drinking and forget about being hungry. Having said that if I then smell any food I remember pretty fast alright.

Munchies.

I never understood eating after a night out,... then I discovered Whiskey.. Tea is a necessity after with toast/rye yumm!:)

drink has a very strong effect on my appetite, i would have never have discovered indian food if it wasnt for it

TriceMarie

It depends..usually I wouldn't be a bit hungry.
And the next morning I usually wouldn't be hungry.
But,if a mate suggests geting food,I usually pop up and am instantly starving lol

Some alcohols will contain sugars, which could lead to insulin spikes and leave you craving.

The 4.3% heineken here is 3.1% sugar (coke is around 10.5%). I could drink one of those 5L kegs in a night no problem, that is 155g sugar, which is a fair few bars of chocolate worth of sugar.

It will also get stomach acid going and that might give your body a signal to eat or something. I know I conciously eat even if I am not hungry after drinking so my stomach will be OK in the morning.

Breakfast :eek:

Come on, who hasn't reheated a half eaten burger or pizza from the night before? Don't lie, I know you have!!

I think that you only have to look in any chippy at the end of the night and see that alcohol does make you hungry. Personally i love a pizza after a night out but i hate the massive queues so i just get it delivered and i avoid all the queuing.

Anti chris-t. Love that user name.

I prefer not to eat after drinking. Before yes but not after. I like to wait for a proper cafe breakfast the following morning.

joes girls

yep.....would have to top up on the food when drinking ...... needs it to keep me going until the bloody hangover is gone and im back in the land of the livin!

I can eat a full dinner before heading out and still get a snack box at the end of the night. More often than not I only know I've eaten it from the remains the next morning!

Too right it does, have you ever tried Abrakebabra taco chips sober :eek:

I find if I have a good breakfast I could drink all day, but if I take a break for food after a few pints it takes me a good 2 hours to be able to drink again... Try not to eat after drinking because I always eat too much

Beer munchies :pac::pac::pac:

No not at all theres nothing like a feed of drink to work up an appetite for food the next day. What do you generally drink, if they're very sugary drinks then that may explain lack of appetite as you might be coming off a sugar high.

i usually drink Pints of Heninken and then a few Vodkas and Club Lemon,i do nearly always be hungover after drinking and im never fit to eat.

Alcohol causes a drop in blood sugar levels leading to hunger.

Although if you eat you're clearly a pussy, the way to get rid of the hunger is to continue drinking until you're completely off your face and don't notice the hunger anymore.

I have two types of hangovers. One is where I have absolutely no appetite for food, I just live off water and juice for the day.

The other ones (the more usual ones ) are the ones where once I start eating, nothing can stop me!

Do you have to go for a Beeriod?

Wazdakka

I'm a bit weird I think..

I actually don't really get hungry at all...

It's normal enough for me to go a few days without food just because I've been busy and forgotten to eat.

It's a bit of a pain in the ass tbh.

Schism

I think I've got an accelerated version of this, I get the munchies after a pint or a couple of bottles. I find though it goes away if I ignore it and keep drinking.

Kiera

I'm like your mates. I cant eat anything after even one drink. Totally kills my appetite.
