Some Foods Just Hit Different When You're In That State
Picture this: it's 2:30 a.m. Saturday night, you've been bar-hopping since 5, and you haven't eaten since 12. In this state, you're bound to be a little open-minded about your food choices. Your usually-refined tastes will be chucked out the window as you tuck into some greasy plate of fried goodness. Here are 20 foods that only taste good when you're intoxicated.

1. Nacho Fries
What's better than nachos when you're drunk? Nacho Fries. All the goodness of nachos on fries instead of tortilla chips.

2. Poutine
This French-Canadian dish consisting of fries topped with brown gravy and cheese curds is terrible unless you're intoxicated. It suddenly becomes delicious when you've had a few, especially if it's from a chip truck and it comes in a cardboard takeout box.
3. Greasy Shawarma
Shawarma is delicious any time of day but we're talking those extremely greasy ones that we can only guess are made with the fattiest cuts of meat. You might not touch them sober but when intoxicated, they slap.

4. Full English Breakfast
The classic "day after" food, the full English breakfast is comprised of bacon, fried egg, sausage, mushrooms, baked beans, hash brown and grilled tomatoes. On a normal day it's just way too much, but after a night of drinking, it really hits the spot.
5. Fast Food Cheeseburger
A greasy fast food cheeseburger made with the most artificial cheese imaginable, topped with pickles and maybe some soggy lettuce. Now that's what we're talking about when we're drunk and at no other time ever.

6. Chili Cheese Dog
This Texan delicacy is a hot dog topped with beef chili and cheese. People in Texas love it any time, but for the rest of the world, it really only hits on drunken nights.
7. Instant Ramen
The only people who should be eating instant ramen are broke students and drunk people. The amount of random toppings you add is a good indication of how intoxicated you are.

8. Corn Dogs
Everyone loves corn dogs as children. It's a classic American elementary school food. However, as adults, it's really only good when you're on a bender.

9. Street Vendor Hot Dogs
You know those hot dog stands you pass right by in the day time, not even giving them a second glance? When you're drunk, your attitude towards them completely changes. They call to you like a magnet and of course, you top your hot dog with everything available, and it's the best thing in the world.

10. Curry Fries
This food which is fries topped with curry sauce and sometimes chicken seems like a drunken invention. Sure enough, it's absolutely fantastic when you're intoxicated.

11. Peanut Butter & Pickles
Don't knock it til you try it! Just make sure to try it when you're drunk. Somehow the saltiness and the creamy nuttiness become a beautiful marriage, but only in the presence of alcohol.

12. Chicken Nuggets
Chicken nuggets from a fast food joint might've been your favorite food as a child, but as an adult it only makes it into your favorites when you're drunk. Somehow those spongey little morsels become gourmet after last call.

13. Mozzarella Sticks
Hot and gooey mozzarella sticks: okay so they aren't bad when sober either, but they leap onto another level when alcohol is involved in your night. Somehow, their blandness becomes delightful when you're drunk.

14. Cold Pizza
Thank goodness for leftover pizza straight from the fridge. This is what you eat when you burst into your house late at night and you need to eat immediately and it sure does do the trick.

15. Krispy Kreme Donuts
Sorry Krispy Kreme, you are a drunk food; the holy grail of drunk foods at that. These donuts' suffocating sweetness and junky fried greasiness somehow becomes one of the best things in the world with a little intoxication.
16. Fish & Chips
Fish and chips is a popular dish any day but we would ague that it really isn't anything special unless you're drunk. We're pretty sure it was designed to be consumed in this context anyway. Otherwise, why would you pair two fried things?

17. Frozen Pizza Rolls
The beautiful thing about frozen pizza rolls is they're microwavable making them a safe option for when it's questionable whether you should be operating a stove. Yes, they're highly processed but they're also cheesy, salty, bready, and just plain good when you're in that state.

18. Kraft Mac & Cheese
Anything accompanied by cheese in powdered form probably shouldn't be consumed by you if you're adult, unless you're drunk. In that case, the noodles smothered in artificial tasting cheese more than passes.

19. SpaghettiOs
Canned spaghetti has a very different flavor from any other kind. The sauce is at once overly sweet and perplexingly salty: an attack on your tastebuds. However, when drunk, it just hits different.

20. Gas Station Jamaican Patties
Those Jamaican patties that have been siting in that food-heating chamber all day(s) don't usually look too enticing. However, if you happen upon them when you're just finishing a night out, they have a different appeal.
