It's 3 am. You had a nutritious, filling dinner before heading out for a night of drinking with your friends.
You told yourself this would finally be the night you would not eat an entire pizza by yourself or a week's worth of bagels in one sitting.
But you had a lot of tequila shots, danced a ton and you're starving.
Hey, we're not going to judge you. The drunchies happen.
While nutrition experts say it's better to save all those calories for the next day when your body actually needs them -- why "hello" there, delicious greasy brunch -- if you are going to drunk eat, some food choices are a lot better than others.
