After a long night of drinking, I spend the following morning/day/night in my bed with bottles of water, Del Taco, my chihuahua, and porn (not necessarily all at the same time). Well, I must be a total slob (big surprise) because a new study shows that most lushes like to work out and be all "healthy" (boring) following their flaming jager and champagne cocktails (trust me, they're good).
People who drink regularly seem to exercise more often than teetotalers, and those who average more than a drink or two a day may be the most active, a new study suggests. Using data from a government health survey of U.S. adults, researchers found that in general, the amount of time people devoted to exercise tended to inch up along with the number of alcoholic drinks they had each month.
Compared with abstainers, those considered heavy drinkers -- at least 46 drinks in the past month for women, and 76 or more for men -- exercised for an average of 20 minutes more per week. Meanwhile, moderate drinkers -- which included women who had 15 to 45 drinks in a month, and men who had 30 to 75 -- got 10 extra minutes of exercise each week.
Both moderate and heavy drinkers were also more likely to report vigorous exercise, like jogging, than either light drinkers or abstainers, the researchers report in the American Journal of Health Promotion.
Yeah, whatever, they're still gonna die of liver cancer.
