Binge drinking 'link to overeating'
Drinking more than three large glasses of wine can push people over a "tipping point", meaning they consume about 6,300 extra calories in the following 24 hours, a report has said.
The extra calories could lead to gaining 2lb a week (900g), the survey of 2,042 people suggested.
About half of those surveyed said crossing the threshold had made them binge on chips, pizza and kebabs.
But experts warned the study showed trends and not "hard science".
Slimming World, which commissioned the research from YouGov, said half of the people asked had also cancelled physical activities the day after drinking more than 9.3 units, equivalent to slightly less than four pints of beer.
