How does alcohol affect your diet?

Answer 1

You drink alcohol... you get drunk.... you get the munchies and you eat takeaway foods therefore you get fatter.

Seriously though alcohol slows down your metabolism by depressing the central nervous system.

Also note that a British study found that when alcohol was added to a high-fat, high-calorie meal, less dietary fat was burned off and more was stored as body fat.

In other words if you drink then drink moderately, don't eat fatty foods and make sure you work off the damage you've done the night before by doing exercise.
