I was wondering does gum cover up the scent of alchohol? and i heard eating food can help you feel more sober? anything else? any special foods?

Once you get hit with it you can eat as much as you want but it will still take time to sober you up (as well as a lot of water and sleep). Some people are just plain unable to eat after being drunk because their body will throw it all back up. As for hiding the smell - I knew an alcoholic and everything they tried to hide it didn't work. If not the smell it was quite obvious they were drunk from the way they were acting, eyes, speaking, walking etc.
I would suggest if your going out for a drink then you eat FIRST. Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is just asking for trouble. As for hiding the smell, I suspect your not old enough to be going out and getting drunk - in which case just wait till you're old enough. Means you won't need to spend the night throwing up in some corner, waking up next to some weird guy you don't know or making a drunken fool of yourself.

Eat anything - I guess it will help to take away the smell and drink something which isn't alcohol.
Carry body spray/perfume.
Eating food before you drink is good. A glass of milk will line your stomach, too.
Also, if you can, after every drink, drink 1 glass of water. This way, it helps to flush it out of your system and you won't feel awful the next day.
Remember, you must be of age to drink. and if you don't want to end up smelling of alcohol, is it wise to drink it in the first place? Because there isn't anything that can cover up the smell 100% [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
