Just one boozy session a week can lead to us taking on enough calories to put on 2lb, say experts.

Feasting on fatty takeaways after the pubs have shut and combating a hangover with a full English breakfast can see men alone put away an extra 5,000 calories, research warns.

It found that the average man reaches ‘tipping point’ – the moment we start to drink and eat more than intended – after 10.5 units of alcohol, or about four pints of beer.

研究發現，一般人攝入超過這個量——含有10.5個單位酒精的飲料，或4品脫啤酒——就達到了臨界值。

The extra drink after this point, combined with fatty food such as chips, kebabs, pizzas and hamburgers, leads to him packing away an extra 6,940 calories. This is more than three times the recommended daily intake for men and the equivalent of 38 bags of crisps.

超過臨界點的飲酒量和高脂肪食物如薯條、烤羊肉串、披薩和漢堡等，會讓人多攝入6,940卡熱量。這個量超出了男性日需熱量的三倍，相當於38包薯片的熱量。

The female ‘tipping point’ is eight units – just two to three large glasses of wine. Beyond that, women consume an extra 5,725 calories – almost three times the daily recommended intake and the equivalent of nearly two dozen jam doughnuts.

女性的飲酒臨界量是8個單位酒精——僅爲2到3杯葡萄酒的量：超過這個量，女性就多攝入了5,725卡路里的熱量——這幾乎等同於日需熱量的三倍，相當於將近24個果醬甜甜圈的熱量。
