It could also be the extra calories， fat and unhealthy eating choices that may come with 2 drinking.A recent study found that men consume an 3 433 calories (equivalent to a McDonalds double ch

21、eeseburger) on days they drink a moderate amount of alcohol. About 61% of the caloric 4 comes from the alcohol itself.
