Most of us don’t put too much thought into whether we’ve ever been told lies about liquor—but a few of these revealing truths from ‘My Drunk Kitchen’s’ Hannah Hart could have you rethinking how you go about your next wild night out.

Order Doesn’t Matter The order in which you drink booze doesn’t really matter. “Liquor before beer, never fear. Beer before liquor, never sicker.” Yea, it’s shenanigans. It really IS all about how much you drink.

'Breaking The Seal' Doesn’t Exist There really is no such thing as breaking the seal. Alcohol is a diuretic, so it’s naturally going to have to make you pee more often.

Alcohol Doesn’t Make You Fat Booze itself is not the culprit of weight gain. Adding on the pounds is still all about daily caloric intake, so if you’re taking in a lot more than you burn, it’s gonna happen, whether you’re on a liquid diet or not. But ladies, we have good news! Studies show women who have a drink or two each night are known to gain less weight than those who either binge drink or don't drink—all due to a difference in the way alcohol is metabolized in women who drink in moderation.

Gold Flakes Are For Show Goldschläger gold flakes, in fact, don’t cut your throat to help you absorb alcohol faster and get you drunk quicker. But it does look pretty before it goes down!

Penny Sucking Does Nothing Sucking on a penny will not help you pass a breathalyzer. And no, copper does not disguise the alcohol. But, even if it did, a penny is only about 2% copper, so it wouldn’t work anyway. Neither will eating your underwear.

Red SOLO Cup Lines Aren’t There To Help You Bartend Lines on a red SOLO cup are not there for alcohol measurement. We know, we’re disappointed, too. And we’ll probably still use it for that anyway.

Mixers Matter Using diet soda as a mixer causes the body to absorb alcohol quicker resulting in getting drunk faster. Might want to switch to Captain and Diet Coke from now on.

But The Type of Alcohol Doesn’t You can’t blame just tequila for making your clothes fall off—in fact, types of alcohol do not make you a certain type of drunk. It all just comes down to the number of drinks you have and how quickly you suck ‘em down.

Intoxication Doesn’t Lead to Honesty Alcohol is not a truth serum, although it’s still believed by some that drunk claims equal sober thoughts.

Consuming Massive Amounts of Food Won’t Keep You Sober Eating a lot before drinking doesn’t help keep you sober, although it delays the absorption of the alcohol in your body. The delay does help with the severity of next day's hangover.

Bellying Up to The Bar The Day After Won’t Help A Hangover Having another alcoholic drink the morning after will not help cure a hangover. The phrase “hair of the dog,” in reference to using alcohol to lessen hangovers, came from the belief that if you add a hair of a dog that bit you into a medicinal potion, you won’t get rabies. We don’t want you to get rabies, but you should probably just stick to rehydrating with water instead.
