The BBC is an embarrassment; a shell of once aspirational ideal of truth and impartiality, that now just delivers click-bait bollocks, Chris Evans, and Mrs Browns Boys.
(Yes, I'm in a grumpy mood)
Eating is cheating!

WTF.
Overreaction of the year so far pal.
Not really.
If you don't get why I think that, then that's fine, pal 🙂
In tests on mice, alcohol activated the brain signals that tell the body to eat more food.
Shocking!
There ain't no science like BBC website science...

Tell me why then. But you're not allowed to mention Mrs Browns Boys.
[Zen] It's not my place to tell you what to think. 🙂
I think Monsignor Bricktop said it first 'Like curry to a pisshead'

Well I'll just make the point that science has to prove the bleedin' obvious sometimes, because if it's not proven then it's not "fact".
And presenting news in an easy-to-understand manner that relates to people's lives is not really a bad thing.

Alcohol flips brain into hungry mode

Yes it might seem obvious to those of us who enjoy a post pint curry or kebab, but the study is really about understanding the mechanism not the effect.
Yes, and isolating the effect from other social effects.
General public in science fail SHOCKER.

Well done. You know understand science. Have a cookie.

Thanks, but I only eat them when I've been drinking.
Conversely, whenever I have pizza, it makes me want a beer.
According to the link, two thirds of adults in the UK are overweight or obese. That's pretty shocking IMO. I'd say presenting facts about eating in a simple to understand way may be a good thing.

Know, know. Let's keep this civil.

It would, but it won't make any difference. When people can eat unheathily more easily, more cheaply and with more taste (to them) than the healthy option they will take the unhealthy option.
Take the option away and you would see a major change - how may people were overweight in 1950....
A good way to enjoy drinking lots while negating the need for kebabs is to take up cocaine and smoking
Or cannabis.
Well known to promote a healthy, controlled diet.
BTW, you very rarely get bald alkies.
All to do with the effects of alcohol on testosterone.
Always the odd exception though.

"Alcohol makes you eat more" may be the bleedin' obvious but "rather than loss of restraint, it is a neuronal response" is less so.
Good job I am not a mouse then 😉
