It doesn't necessarily lower your blood alcohol level but while you eat your body has to metabolize the food you are consuming and it will keep your body energetic (so to speak) by processing your food and it will help process the alcohol faster than just drinking alone. If one person drinks 5 beers in 3 hours and eats 3 slices of Pizza and another person drinks 5 beers and in 3 hours the person who ate pizza might have a lower alcohol content. It wouldn't be enough to be acceptable to pass a toxic screen by police though and wouldn't make enough difference to allow you to drive. You would notice more of a difference when you experience the hangover the next morning because you went to bed with a slightly lower alcohol content but your body kept metabolizing the food and alcohol.
