Not eating food before drinking alcoholic beverages can significantly increase Blood alcohol content.

Explanation:

Why? Because the body begins absorbing alcohol through the stomach lining and small intestine, so if your stomach is full of food, it will take longer for the buzz to sink in.

However, what you eat and how much you drink may determine how severe your hangover will be on the next day. It is recommended that you drink water and eat fruits and not greasy foods to promote hydration and to prevent build of acetaldehyde, the by-product of alcohol.
