Idk, but whenever I'm hungover (or drunk) I absolutely crave fat salty food like this. And it seems to alleviate my hangover faster as well. Maybe something to do with salt helping with taking in more fluids or that there is a salt shortage after drinking a lot?

Not so fun fact, I used my macro nutrient counter to track calories of a drunken night.

Around 2000 kcal of alcohol + the junk food after, so it can be around 4000 kcal a night.

No clues why I’m getting fat 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah drinking nights are an absolute calorie nuke. It's why I'm doing it less and less. I've managed to change most other part of my life for the better (not that I was ever really overweight). I run 2+ times a week, I rarely eat calorie dense processed food anymore, I rarely snack. But every now and then these drinking nights come in and ignore all the rules lol
