This is a survey, not a scientific study, say the authors. But what the survey say is that binge drinking leads to binge eating. Drink too much and you'll end up eating far too much, adding one problem to another.

The research was commissioned by a commercial company for slimming methods. The results say that three large glasses of wine in a short time push people to eat about 6,300 extra calories in the following 24 hours, where the recommended amount per day is around 2,000.

Moreover, 50% of the people who said drinking impacted their food choices had also cancelled physical activities the day after drinking more than four pints of beer. The choice fell on a sofa, or bed, along with another 2,000 calories on top of their usual diet.

There is no need to comment any of this, but our worries go towards the young generation of people that seem to enjoy binge drinking more and more. And the trend is on the increase.
