How can alcohol be regarded as food?

In: Food & Cooking [Edit categories]

Answer:

Alcohol cannot be regarded as food. It does not fill you up anymore than let's say a glass of water. Alcohol is a substance not food. It affects your blood pressure which is why many think of it as a food. Alcohol affects the brain and nerves which a normal food substance doesn't.
