EXPERIMENT: Does Eating Ginger Candy Prevent Drunkenness?

Eating ginger candy definitely prevents seasickness. I learned that on a recent cruise. However, on the same cruise I noticed that I never felt drunk despite drinking heavily. So I got to wondering whether eating ginger candy will prevent drunkenness.

On May 5, I decided to test this idea out by eating ginger candy followed by drinking 375 ml of Tequila straight. What you see in this video is my participation in this experiment plus the result of that investigation.

I've always wanted to use my body as part of a scientific experiment. Oh, and in case you're wondering, later I suffered NO hangover nor any other bad side effects other than that night drinking a lot more water than usual. Possibly dehydration.

Not drinking to excess prevents drunkenness every time.

Same as giving coffee to a drunk.

You end up with a wide awake drunk.

Not feeling drunk is not the same thing as not being drunk

Was one group sober and the other group blind drunk?

Well, I went from the not feeling stage to the definitely feeling stage. However, I think it would have been a lot worse sans the ginger candy.

"....I noticed that I never felt drunk despite drinking heavily..." What fun is that? If you could get drunk but have no hangover that would be a tie breaker!😎

Wouldn’t it be a lot cheaper if it worked the other way around?

If you were really smart, you would have applied for a federal grant to fund the study.

Sounds like a very bad idea and a costly waist of money

I must remind you old boy that there is a special place in hell for people who wast good Tequila

Well, maybe for the seasickness part because that definitely WORKED. No small matter because a cruise can be ruined by seasickness. In my case, I only experienced some ear popping but NO nausea.
