Finally! A Reason Why We Get ‘the Drunchies’
We've talked about it before -- it's what happens when you eat after you have been drinking. You know the feeling. You're sitting in the back seat on your way home, and suddenly the crave of Taco Bell hits you right in the gut! Well, now we have an answer as to why that happens.
The American Physiological Society did a study on mice and found that when you drink, it triggers that same part of your brain that is triggered when you binge-eat. So now we know you aren't dealing with "drunchies," it's really just you binge-eating because you have been binge-drinking.
