Food in the stomach that is high in protein will slow down alcohol absorption. Here's why:

1. When you consume alcohol, it passes through your stomach and into your small intestine, where it is absorbed into your bloodstream.

2. If your stomach is empty, the alcohol passes directly into your small intestine, where it is quickly absorbed and you become intoxicated more quickly.

3. However, if you have food in your stomach, especially food high in protein, the food absorbs some of the alcohol and slows down its passage into the small intestine. This means the alcohol is absorbed more slowly, and you become intoxicated more slowly as well.

4. Therefore, eating food high in protein before or while drinking can help slow the absorption of alcohol and reduce its immediate effects.
