A new study simulated the food and alcohol consumption typical of so-called tailgate parties to assess how binge eating and drinking are likely to impact the body.
The researchers found that, both during and the day after the simulated “party,” participants presented with increased levels of lipogenesis, or fat formation.
Levels of liver fat differed greatly between participants after the experiment, leading the authors to hypothesize that the amount of carbohydrates consumed by each participant may have an important role to play.
