Why we cite it
A review of how alcohol affects body weight through fat oxidation suppression, the MEOS energy-wasting pathway, and hormonal effects. It distinguishes light-to-moderate from heavy drinking: light-to-moderate intake is not consistently associated with weight gain, while heavy drinking is. It also notes that insufficient sleep is associated with greater alcohol consumption and excess body weight in adults.
