You know how it is; you have a night out, and all you’re thinking about is what food you’re going to drunkenly come home to. This is a common thought for me, but I know I can’t be the only one that goes through this.
It may not be the healthiest choice, but you’re only young once! You deserve it.
1. PIZZA!
Pizza will, at any given point in the day, be a great decision. However, it is an especially great decision after a night (or day) of excessive drinking. The melted cheese, the variety of toppings, and the warm feeling you get as you’re chewing make eating pizza one of the best feelings you can experience.
And a nice bonus to the consumption of pizza is that it will absorb some of the alcohol too!
2. Fries; cheese fries, waffle fries, any type of fries.
When I’m ordering anything while intoxicated, I make sure that fries are somewhere in the order, with a side or two of cheese. Sometimes, I’ll just tell them to pour the cheese all over the fries and throw a cup of cheese on the side too.
I also make sure that there’s an excessive amount of salt on top, because the more you drink, the more you dehydrate, and the more you want to eat salty foods.
3. Fried goodness.
Fried everything. If you fry it, I will eat it.
There was a survey from Purdue which stated that alcohol enhanced the taste of fat, meaning greasy, fried foods are a drunken person’s best choice. Mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, onion rings… now I’m getting hungry. It makes sense, given that if you put anything deep-fried in front of a drunken person's face, it will be inhaled in less than 30 seconds.
4. Leftover Chipotle.
You don’t think about it now, but when you see that beautiful oval shaped bowl or your burrito from earlier wrapped in foil, you know you’ll be diving in.
Chipotle is amazing at any given time of the day, but when you’re drunk and you have the opportunity to eat it, you bet your behind that those leftovers don’t stand a chance.
5. Mac & Cheese.
How can anyone actually say no to a nice creamy bowl of mac & cheese? That’s right, no one can.
Easy Mac was a gift sent from above for drunk people. If you’re coherent enough to boil a pot of water and make Easy Mac, then props to you.
The point is, Mac & Cheese is a top-notch drunk meal.
6. Jimmy John’s.
Jimmy John's is, and always will be, my best friend. Not only are they open until 2 a.m., but their options are endless. If you’re feeling healthy while you’re drunk (why you’d feel that way I don’t know, but IF you are) then order the Unwich. If you’re feeling meaty, get the Ultimate Porker. There is an option for all types of people.
When it doubt, go Jimmy.
7. McDonald's.
It’s a sad, sad reality. McDonald's, at one point or another, has won the battle. If you’re fortunate enough to have never gone through the waking up process after scarfing down a Big Mac and a medium fry, well, I’m jealous. But at the time of the consumption, there is nothing better.
The truth is, in a drunk state of mind, McDonald's is one of the tastiest options you can find. It’s an easy drive-through, and some are open 24 hours, which is just asking for it.

Of course, every area has their own specific places which cater to drunk people, but these choices are generally what we have to go through every single time alcohol is consumed.
It’s always exciting waking up in the morning and thinking to yourself “what the F*** did I eat last night?!” Hopefully you enjoyed the meal and will “work it off” the next day, but, let’s be honest, probably not.Whatever you do eat, just make sure you drink responsibly, and don’t eat your body weight!
