Weird Drinking Cultures (was: Forchheimer Taverns...)

Well I've done my web trawling and come to a completely different set of views!  The one thing that is clear is that drinking on an empty stomach is bad - see my earlier comments about having tea/dinner before a night on the razz!  Eating while drinking only delays the absorption of alcohol into the blood stream.  Knowing the people that I know (no names, no pack drill), the sessions go on for so long that this is totally irrelevant!   

There is a nice little article about fruit bats: apparently, they get drunk while eating ferment fruit (is that why they fly in circles?) but that the fructose in non-fermented fruit helps to delay the effect!

The foods that are recommended before and during drinking include milk, spaghetti, chicken, quinoa, avocado, almond butter,and cereals.  Doesn't sound like the menu in many Franken Wirtshaueser, though Spezial are doing their best.  Really sounds more like my like my veggie diet than that favoured by most of my friends.  Chewing cereal bars seems to be much better than Schlachtschlussel (is that correct? Never thought that I'd ever be typing it!) but Kaesespaetzle seems to hit the spot, only that it's so filling!
