Do Olives Make You Drunker?
One olive is nearly equivalent to a shot of hard liquor, which is why you are advised not to drive after you eat. You are advised, however, to either keep them in your freezer as a condiment to a drink or serve on their own on a bed of crushed ice.

Do olives help with alcohol?

Olive oil or another food-grade oil, taken by the tablespoon shortly before alcohol consumption, may help to slow the rate at which alcohol is absorbed, giving your body more time to adjust to its new blood chemistry.
