Alcohol Flips Brain Into Hungry Mode

For sure! Especially for more beer.

I know I eat much less when I have a few beers. Maybe I have lots of those aarp neurons

 

I eat less too but that's just because I know my body can't handle eating and drinking at the same time. It's one of the other. Not 18 anymore and body won't digest like it could when I was 18. So, if I'm drinking I'll eat beforehand.

But I already know, that a few quiet beers will in fact make me hungry but I don't need to read any science behind it. Alcohol increased heart rate and blood flow, an increased heart rate is an increase in calorie burning, calorie burning speeds metabolism, speedy metabolism = hunger.

 

I guess it's partly that I just don't want to cook when I am drinking

 

A doughnut soaked in red wine

I dont think I have ever tried that

 

When I drink beer I just want more beer.

Next day though I'll eat my way through half my fridge.

If i go teetotal, which I am sort of planning to do for a while I eat a lot less.

This is old news.

 

D'uuuuuuuuh Alcohol has been around for 5000 years

Millions of years if you include overly ripened fruit


Yeah, but we need a study to work out people are more likely to want to shove a kebab down their face when drunk


D'uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh no shit

 

Alcohol flips my brain into "Doesn't Give A Shit" mode. Not sure how one would test that on mice though.

 

A friend of mine had a rat named bubbles. Bubbles loved beer, he use to give him a little cap full sometimes. Bubbles was fat.

 

I definitely do not get munchies on alcohol to the same extent as I get munchies when stoned. I primarily like more alcohol when drunk as well.
