The link between hunger and cravings for alcohol |
|
|
“You’re not yourself when you’re hungry” isn’t just a memorable Snickers ad slogan, it also happens to be true. Our brains process information slightly differently depending on our internal state, whether we’re hungry, thirsty, in pain, etc. |
Of course, the same is true of other animals, even those with relatively simple brains like fruit flies. Now, a new study published in Current Biology finds that hunger may be involved with triggering cravings for alcohol. |

Too many choices spur regret for the one you didn’t make. That’s because feelings about losses are stronger than feelings about gains. Besides, your brain freezes in the face of a larger number of options. After all, there wasn’t a Costco on the savannah. |
