There is a whole science of serving peanuts with alcohol. People who eat peanuts get thirsty quickly. If there is salt in the peanuts, then everything else is done.
Actually, salt absorbs water and when you eat peanuts, it absorbs moisture from the mouth and throat, making it dry. Then you feel thirsty and you take another drink to quench your thirst.
This process continues and you end up drinking more than you can drink. Actually, the alcohol sellers are not doing you any favor by giving you free peanuts. If they can convince you to drink more by feeding you something so cheap, it is very profitable for them.
Alcohol is often bitter and it becomes easier to drink after eating a few salty peanuts. In fact, peanuts affect our taste buds in such a way that the bitterness of the alcohol becomes less noticeable later.

According to scientists, peanuts contain potassium while beer contains vitamins and carbohydrates. In such a situation, the combination of both causes deficiency of water and minerals in the body.
