Hey, y’all! Ever wonder what to eat before going to the club, bar, frat, srat, etc? You’ll definitely want to eat something that will prevent you from getting drunk off of that second drink #true.

GUYS, there is a common thread throughout this list of food! It’s #PROTEIN for days. Protein is the key ingredient that you want to be eating before going out drinking. Despite what some might say or think, protein is what will fill your stomach and get digested in a proper way, which will also help move that alcohol along.
You may be wondering, “but I thought carbs were good to eat beforehand?” As Meghan Trainer would say, “Nah to the ah to the no no no…” Seriously though carbs are delicious, carbs are great if you’re going to run a marathon the next day, but carbs are not great when you’re about to go out and take 5…maybe 7 shots. The reason is because carbs sit in your stomach and literally absorb the alcohol you’re drinking, which causes the alcohol to sit in your stomach longer, causing a drunker you. If you want to be smart, you’ll not only eat those fries, but you’ll eat the burger as well. OUR BODIES NEED PROTEIN.
Enjoy your night out and go #ham, but make sure you take care of yourself!!! Protein is good, protein is life, protein is #bae. Like. Don’t not eat carbs, but make sure that pizza isn’t your only meal. No one wants to throw up pizza.
Anyway, I hope this is helpful! Enjoy the rest of your semester (#crying) and party it up these last few weeks! Health with me one last time, next week, because I’ll be writing my final article on how to get in shape, not just for the summer, but for the rest of your life! YAY BEING HEALTHY #realvibes
