Can You Drink Pasta Sauce?

Drinking Pasta Sauce

So, can you drink pasta sauce? The short answer is yes, you can drink pasta sauce. People generally do this if they have leftovers in their bowl and don’t want to waste it. There is a small segment of the population that actually enjoys drinking pasta sauce right from the bottle. They love the taste and enjoy the experience.



What Happens If You Drink Pasta Sauce?

Nothing happens if you drink pasta sauce. It’s not going to kill you or make you sick. However, it is possible that you may get an upset stomach if you drink a lot of it. This is because pasta sauce is usually high in acidity. When you consume too much acidic food, it can upset your stomach and give you indigestion.

Here are a couple more things you need to know about downing pasta sauce:

You Don’t Need to Cook Pasta Sauce Before Drinking It

If you’re worried about drinking raw sauce, don’t be. Pasta sauce is already cooked before it ever gets bottled. So, you can drink it straight from the jar without any worries.

It’s Hard To Drink

Not all pasta sauce is created equal. Some are thin and watery, while others are extremely thick and chunky. If you try to drink a thick and chunky sauce, you’re going to have a hard time. If you plan on drinking a chunky one, it is going to be a challenge to try to get it down your throat without choking on it.

It Might be OD to Drink So Much Sauce

Consuming so much sauce, might be too much. We are not saying that you will overdose on pasta sauce, but drinking an entire bottle of it might not be the best idea.
