    I've heard it increases the sense of intoxication.

    You heard porkies.

    However, it's perfectly safe to eat chocolate while drinking alcohol.

    Better stay away with Porterhouse Chocolate Stout just to be safe OP!

    If you drink in the bath or drink standing up you can't get drunk. Or if you pull the bottle out before any liquid comes out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Tea or coffee can I think,it's the caffeine hit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Who the feck told you it wasn't safe to eat chocolate while drinking? I'm about to have a chocolate egg and some whiskey, I'll report back and tell you if I die.

    Can I have the whiskey if you do?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 626 ✭✭✭Massimo Cassagrande


    Never do this - the chocolate and the alcohol combine to form Chocahol-mono-Glycerpeptones in the lower intestimines which can lead to Pleurococcy-clamidyitis and Endo-Parseinomitis of the Adriatic.

    I'm telling you, it isn't pretty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭Zen65

    It does not.

    But it does increase the mess in the event that you throw up from having taken too much drink. Very dark vomit ensues. Not pretty.

    Considering that the only google result for those words... is this thread... I'm gonna call Shenanigans on that :)

    BUT, alcohol DOES react with sugar in the blood stream and that can lead to dehydration and low blood sugar which are the causes of hangovers. So, theres some science behind the idea of not eating a ton of chocolate while drinking. Whether it increase the sense of intoxication depends on the individual and I very very much doubt it. :)

    Not at all - it's 100% Credically proven. In clinicul trials, with 100 subjects, Mono-hexa-choclatides were found to combine with the clenbuterol in alcohol to form long-strand Choca-holic Dipeptides. These underwent a trans-mino-hacid sub-arachnase mustasis at 37'c and became hexa-latent.

    The worst offenders were Marathon bars combined with Harp. It has been dubbed the Martha-Harprothonic effect after the person who discovered the phenomenon - Dr Martha Stewart. She was nominated for an EMMY for her research.

    No. Don't do it. It's not worth it mate.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    "Sub-arachnase".... very dangerous those spider enzymes...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 643 ✭✭✭Geniass


    and Endo-Parseinomitis of the Adriatic.

    In the more recent studies I think a rupture of the Balearic is more common.

    Sufferers have been known to describe their symptoms as "jasus, I thought me belly was crawling". The acute version is worst, chronic sufferers develop a resistance to the effects, dubbed "The Dulling-Kruebeen Effect" - Acute patients, those exposed to less than 3 consecutive weekends of chocolate and Alcohol have been tested as having over 170% more Choco-tolin their systems than non-abusers. Part of the upgrade to "Snickers" was the allegedly the removal of the offending compounds - hence the huge reduction in incidents. Harp refused to comment, but I think their silence on the subject speaks volumes.

    This is still being debated - Russian scientists studied 1000 patients but their findings were in Russian, so no-one is too sure what they were. Apart from russian speakers.

    Well, I died. My only regret is that I died drinking Jameson and Dairy Milk rather than Lagavulin and Leonedas.

    Organic chocolate is supposed to be a safe bet. No one has ever suffered as a result of drinking Harp and eating Organic chocolate, ever.

    I hate this kind of pseudo science. All that organic means is the chocolate producing animals, like the creme hen, are not treated with chemicals.

    Nothing to stop the Mono-hexa-choclatides combining with the clenbuterol in alcohol to form the dangerous long-strand Choca-holic Dipeptides, as pointed out already.

    Balderdash, everyone knows a happy creme hen or a well cared for Dairymilk cow produce less toxin laden produce. It's beyond refute.

    It really makes me angry when trolls post the above crap. I'll report you if continue with such unsubstantiated rubbish.

    This thread is like a spoof on a Daily Mail scare story.

    "Chocolate causes cancer"

    "Scientists discover secret cure for cancer - eat a bar of chocolate a day!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,511 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    It's 100% not safe.

    Anytime I'm eating out and someone goes for a chocolate desert then invariably an ambulance has to be called.

    Wine and Cocoa makes everything broke-a

    Alcohol is known to decrease your inhibitions, thus increasing your likelihood of having unsafe sex.
    However, chocolate is known to produce serotonin levels similar to those experienced during sex.
    Therefore, if you eat chocolate while drinking, you are 99 times less likely to have unsafe sex.
    So, you can conclude, that it is not only safe to consume chocolate while drinking, but it is actually SAFER than drinking and consuming cabbage for example.

    I had some chocolate after a rake of pints one night.

    Was as sick as a small hospital the next morning

    Conclusion: It was the chocolate that did me in


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,088 ✭✭✭SpaceTime


    No science behind this at all.

    Just don't attempt to knock back a pint of pure chocolate whatever you do!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,777 ✭✭✭✭The Corinthian


    If you're a dog, it can be dangerous to eat chocolate, with or without alcohol.

    Otherwise chocolate can have the beneficial effect of helping to counteract the 'black rain' syndrome often experienced the morning after imbuing twelve pints of Guinness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,556 ✭✭✭the_monkey


    Whatever you do, never ever ever eat mentos and drink Coca Cola ....
