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.
Ginger ameliorates all kinds of nausea. That is why hospitals often provide patients with ginger ale after surgery involving anesthesia.
Ginger tea is also great for alleviating minor stomach upsets.
But I doubt that ginger can counteract blood alcohol levels. It might just make you feel a little less queasy.
YES!
Just what I always say about my alcoholic father.
“He was a drunken son of a bitch. Now that he quit drinking, he’s just a son of a bitch.”
Now, he has quit drinking FOREVER! He’s burning in hell for all eternity, asking everyone he sees for a beer!
There IS justice, in the afterlife, if not in life.
Only if you eat it instead of doing the shots...
Looks like you may have just invented Synthehol!
Somebody had to do it.
Thanks for your sacrifice.
What - (hick) -— is this drinking (hick) thing you are talking (hick) about? Hick.
Just drink a big glass of Half & Half to coat your stomach and you will be fine.
Donno about drunk prevention and ginger candy, but eating raw ginger can prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
It works by keeping all possible transmission “sources” far out of reach due to the stench.
Mix with raw garlic and there’s your automatic social distancing device.

Oops -— a double post!
I think I’ve mentioned this before —— at a cardio visit, the doc asked me if I smoked. I said no. He asked if I drank. I said yes. He asked if it was socially and I said no. Well he looked at me!!!! But I explained that before bed I take 2 pills and swallow it with 3-4 ounces of red wine -— for the resveratol which is good for the heart. No more than that small amount. He accepted that, but his look was unforgettable!!!!
Your brain doesn’t care what you consume. Your response time and judgement are impaired. All you’re saying is you could drink more. Cocaine does that too. So does being an alcoholic

I’m alone, so it is not sociable-—and I go right off to bed.
