The Best Drunk Foods Money Can Buy

Nothing beats getting home at 2 AM after a night out at the bar and whipping up a concoction of your favorite foods or hitting the best late-night spot on your block. There's some universal favorites (pizza) and some local contenders who hit home in this week's episode of What's Your Favorite Drunk Food? Personally, my bed becomes priority when I get home unless I can find a good slice (or 5) of pizza. I rarely make it to the kitchen and usually head straight for bed, but if there's pizza in my near future, I'll make sure to snag a bite.

Pizza is the number one late-night classic for most. It's greasy, cheesy and the most readily available. Here's what people had to say:

"White slice, it's greasy and cheesy and delicious" - Jaime 21, Rutger's University

"It's easy to eat and hold onto. You don't have to wait for it, it's cheap and 9/10 times they [the pizza place] let you use the bathroom [(priorities)]" -Jeremy 21, Suffolk University

"White pizza tastes incredible when you're drunk." - Julia 21, Ithaca College

"I feel like [pizza] is appropriate for any drunk situation." - Emma 21, Temple University

"The obvious choice is pizza because who hasn't woken up to a half eaten pizza you forgot you ordered the night before." - Casey 22, Suffolk University graduate

"Pizza just goes great with beer." - Kevin 21, Suffolk University

Sarah, 21 from University of New Haven created her own after a night out and gave very detailed instructions; "Two pieces of bread, toasted. Then put some mild cheddar cheese on it. Microwave it for about 20 seconds. Put some pepperoni on it. Microwave it again for 20 seconds. Put more cheese on it, put it in the microwave again but with marinara on the side. Then fold in half and enjoy."

Mac and Cheese came in second place for drunken popularity with it's reliable creamy and cheesy flavor.

"Mac and cheese is easy to make and it's delicious." - Bobbi 22, Suffolk University

"Even though it sucks to make, it's just so cheesy and wonderful when drunk, you want things that are overly milky and cheesy." -Julia 21, Ithaca College

Cheese is clearly high on the ranking of drunk cravings. Cheez-Its and cheese fries are more fan favorites.

"Cheez-Its are tasty and salty and force me to drink water. I can eat a whole box in one sitting and I will if not controlled." - Christine 21, Suffolk University

"Cheez-Its are delicious because they have salt and cheddar taste and go perfect with beer." - Kevin 21, Suffolk University

"I always go to Kelly's [in Allston], it's so good and open till 3 am. Their cheese fries are for sure a favorite (fries with cheese and bacon)." - Mariana 22, Suffolk University

"French fries from Pauli's in the North End. They're actually good for helping you not be hungover. Have you had their fries?? They're perfect." - Jack 21, Suffolk University

"The goodness and melty-ness of cheese [fries] doesn't go truly appreciated when sober." - Marisa 21, Ithaca College

Sometimes unconventionality is the way to go after a few vodka-Redbulls and dollar drafts, as well as the capability of being able to walk and eat. It's important that you can get your snack attack on while adventuring home.

Jason 18, from Ohio University said his favorite chicken and waffle sandwich is perfect because "you can carry it while walking and it's filling".

"It's not a snack, it's a sandwich; a wawa meatball sandwich. I was told it was the best thing to eat when you're drunk and it really is." -Courtney, 21

"Pasta, you're usually so starving and it's warm and filling. Leftovers in general are so satisfying." - Matt 21, Suffolk University

"Chips and salsa, for the salt obviously." - Julia, 30

Nothing is better than the words 'Open 24/7' and if you're lucky enough to live near Bova's, you're winning. "Bova's in the North End because it's open 24 hours. Chocolate covered strawberries are the best food group. And Smartfood." - Aoife 21, Suffolk University

"Smartfood popcorn. You can shovel it in, basically wear it as a feed bag." - Jimmy, 34

"Warm chocolate chip cookies are the best things ever especially if you had a salty snack and now want something sweet." - Marisa 21, Ithaca College

"I did this the other night it was great." Ben, 20, from Suffolk University said, "A full English cucumber with Ranch is filling--quick, easy, and healthy."

So whether you order a whole pizza for yourself or munch on some carrots, every drunk snack is perfect and don't let anyone tell you different.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
