This is as much of an old wives' tale as I've ever seen.
Pray tell, if citric acid from oranges and lemons neutralizes alcohol, why doesn't the hydrochloric acid in my stomach do the same?
You're stating things as fact, and they're far from it. Please stop.
- thevardanian 12y agoWell to think hydrochloric acid is chemically even close to the same as citric acid would also be far from the truth. Both have their own chemical properties, which invariably produce different chemical reactions. Now to ask how citric acid in any way neutralizes, reduces, or some other factor x, the effects of alcohol, would be a better question.
