- BobbyTables2 2y agoI’d probably have to drink heavily before I could eat significant quantities of Brussels sprouts…

- satvikpendem 2y agoBrussel sprouts are quite good these days, because they've been genetically engineered over the past 30 years to be less bitter. They're not your parents' sprouts anymore (especially roasted for that Maillard reaction, not boiled as they would've likely done).
- tayo42 2y agoBrussel sprouts at restaurants are basically candy lol. Yeah they're roasted and crispy and cooked with bacon fat and usually some sweet sauce added lol.
- verall 2y agoMost restaurants deep fry them nowadays
- romafirst3 2y agoAre you working for Big Sprout? I seem to remember seeing that exact phrase on here in the last couple of months. "Not your parents sprouts anymore" For the record I loved them 30 years ago and still love em. My recipe is very different to the modern fashion, boiled until mushy with a slice of smokey bacon, drain and eat with butter. They literally melt like butter - delicious.

- zolbrek 2y agoShould I take it when I'm ready to sober up or before drinking as well if I want to make sure I don't get too drunk but still have a good buzz?
- aantix 2y agoTake it a couple of hours before drinking. You won't feel as drunk and will have less of a hangover.
- zolbrek 2y agoThanks, I'll give it a go.
- voisin 2y agoWhat about all the other negative impacts though - like liver impact and blood pressure. Isn’t it better to just moderate your drinking rather than drinking to excess and then dialing back the feel of it with broccoli?
- iamthirsty 2y agoProbably.
- gerad 2y agoNot to mention the cost.
- aantix 2y agoAgree. Of all the negatives, I think diminished sleep is the one that doesn’t get enough attention. It’s superficial sleep at best. You’re up peeing 3,4,5 times a night. You never enter REM sleep. You’re dragging the entire next day. All to do it over again to your body the next day? Of the people that I know that drink actively almost every day, they look like shit, and lack motivation. Their body is crying out for rest and better food but they just keep drinking through their signals.
