We’ve all been there. It’s 2 am, you just got home, everything is spinning, and you’re ravenous. While most would order a couple boxes of pizza to split among friends, there are still some folks who would rather go home and cook up a storm to satisfy their drunch cravings.
When we drink, we feel invincible. We kid ourselves that we are perfectly capable of handling ourselves as we trip down the stairs. But just because we are not seeing 20/20 doesn’t mean we can’t make ourselves some food to eat like a boss. Steer clear of the oven, knives and stove and try these no-bake or microwaveable recipes. These recipes are drunch-certified and your apartment will not be burnt down in the process.
