I've never been able to even contemplate eating while tripping and the idea of drinking alcohol while tripping turns my stomach, I find it much easier to just take some alprazolam or diazepam if things start getting out of hand. That's just me personally though, I've tripped with a guy who went and bought and ate a whole chicken while tripping...

protip.. Try and force yourself to eat, it gives you one less thing for your body to be weird about.
I usually buy smoothies and drink them for some calories and to feel full. Luckily I don't get too much body load, it's just the idea of chewing and eating that weirds me out
Your body can definitely handle fasting for half a day. Frankly eating gives your body more things to be weird about.
This is one of those scenarios where the Huel/Soylent style mixtures come in handy. It can be difficult to "eat" but sometimes you just need Calories™
Sure, I'm no stranger to fasting, I wouldn't call it pleasant though. Eating can be a very strange experience, I have vivid memories of a burrata I felt like I could climb into but it's definitely nice not to be hungry
I think it depends. If you been dancing for 14 hrs you definitely need some energy and protein, no matter how fit you are.
In my experience, processed food of all sorts appears utterly weird and unappealing in this state.

On the other hand, fresh fruit is usually marvellous.

Set and setting. Trip with some poor people who haven’t seen a fresh fruit since grade school and look out instead for the magical “fruit” drinks that taste of their literal colors.
On one trip I had a memorable and absolutely glorious time stuffing my entire mouth with Gushers[0] and taking deliciously fruity flavored bong hits.

Same here, meat bag doesn't want this inside the body.

Hemp milk is pretty chill too.
