“…Thirteen studies (12,28,29,39-41,45,47,49-51-54) employed a randomised crossover trial design, four utilised (24,42,46,48) a randomised parallel trial design and five, a non-randomised crossover trial design (11,43,44,52,53) . Sixteen studies 12,24,28,39,40,42,[45][46][47][48][49][51][52][53][54] utilised a pre-load paradigm design where ingestion of a beverage occurred a set period of time before the consumption of food. The time between consuming the pre-load and consuming the first test food varied between studies, from 10 min (46) up to 2 h (28) .…”

“…In all of these studies, alcohol ingestion was compared with nonalcoholic comparator conditions. Six studies (12,29,(39)(40)(41)45) provided a standardised control meal for participants before the start of the study, five (28,49,(52)(53)(54) instructed participants to consume their own 'usual' meal and one study (28) instructed participants to fast before the testing.

Effect of alcohol consumption on food energy intake: a systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2019

The relationship between alcohol consumption and body weight is complex and inconclusive being potentially mediated by alcohol type, habitual consumption levels and sex differences. Heavy and regular alcohol consumption has been positively correlated with increasing body weight, although it is unclear whether this is due to alcohol consumption per se or to additional energy intake from food. This review explores the effects of alcohol consumption on food energy intake in healthy adults. CINAHL Plus, EMBASE, Medline and PsycINFO were searched through February 2018 for crossover and randomised controlled trials where an alcohol dose was compared with a non-alcohol condition. Study quality was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool. A total of twenty-two studies involving 701 participants were included from the 18 427 papers retrieved. Studies consistently demonstrated no compensation for alcoholic beverage energy intake, with dietary energy intake not decreasing due to alcoholic beverage ingestion. Meta-analyses using the random-effects model were conducted on twelve studies and demonstrated that alcoholic beverage consumption significantly increased food energy intake and total energy intake compared with a non-alcoholic comparator by weighted mean differences of 343 (95 % CI 161, 525) and 1072 (95 % CI 820, 1323) kJ, respectively. Generalisability is limited to younger adults (18–37 years), and meta-analyses for some outcomes had substantial statistical heterogeneity or evidence of small-study effects. This review suggests that adults do not compensate appropriately for alcohol energy by eating less, and a relatively modest alcohol dose may lead to an increase in food consumption.

“…For example, alcohol consumption has been shown to stimulate appetite (Yeomans & Phillips, 2002) and lead to increased food intake when consumed prior to or with a meal (Yeomans, 2010). Consumption of alcohol has also been linked to increased desire for and intake of high fat, savory foods (Schrieks et al, 2015). The recommendation to reduce alcohol intake in the context of weight-loss interventions intends to address these risks, but there is insufficient knowledge about how alcohol intake relates to weight, weight loss, or energy intake prior to or after a weight loss attempt.…”

The relationship of alcohol use to weight loss in the context of behavioral weight loss treatment

et al. 2016

Despite common wisdom that reducing alcohol intake will facilitate weight loss, little research has examined whether participants in behavioral weight loss treatments actually decrease their alcohol intake, or whether reduced alcohol intake relates to weight loss outcomes in this context. This study examined the relationship of alcohol use to energy intake excluding alcohol and to weight in 283 overweight and obese adults participating in a 26-session behavioral weight loss treatment. The majority of participants consumed low to moderate levels of alcohol at baseline. Participants who consumed alcohol at baseline meaningfully reduced their alcohol intake by end-of-treatment. Alcohol use did not relate to weight at baseline or end-of-treatment when controlling for relevant demographic variables, and change in alcohol use was unrelated to weight change in the overall sample during treatment. However, end-of-treatment alcohol intake did relate to end-of-treatment energy intake excluding alcohol. In addition, behavioral impulsivity and change in alcohol intake interacted to predict weight loss, such that decreases in alcohol intake were associated with greater percent weight loss at end-of-treatment for participants with higher levels of impulsivity. Alcohol consumption may lead to overeating episodes, and highly impulsive individuals may be at risk for increased energy intake during or after episodes of drinking. Therefore, the recommendation to reduce alcohol intake in the context of behavioral weight loss treatment seems warranted, particularly for individuals with high levels of impulsivity.

Introduction: Ski touring along ski slopes (slope touring) has increased in recent years on Austrian ski slopes. Alcohol consumption is proposed to be a risk factor in winter sports-related accidents. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors associated with alcohol intake among uninjured slope tourers. Methods: A total of 328 slope tourers (45% females) with a mean age of 43.8 ± 11.8 years were questioned in February and March 2014 in two huts at the top of two Austrian ski areas. Questionnaires were conducted during daytime (9.00 a.m.-4.00 p.m.) and nighttime hours (5.00 p.m.-9.45 p.m.) with a following breath alcohol test. Slope tourers filled in on demographics, skill level, risk-taking behavior, ski helmet use, and alcohol consumption. In addition, slope tourers who had consumed alcohol were asked to estimate their individual breath alcohol level. Results: In total, 187 (57%) of the slope tourers reported that they had consumed alcohol at the hut. Male sex, a higher BMI, more ski touring experience, and less ski helmet use were significantly associated with alcohol intake among slope tourers. Mean-tested breath alcohol level was 0.24 ± 0.17‰; this significantly differed from the mean estimated breath alcohol level of 0.18 ± 0.12‰. Male slope tourers had a significantly higher breath alcohol level than female slope tourers (0.26 ± 0.17 vs. 0.22 ± 0.15‰, p = 0.014). Conclusion: Approximately 60% of interviewed slope tourers, predominantly males, consumed alcohol in the huts. In addition, male slope tourers had a significantly higher breath alcohol level compared to female slope tourers and mean-tested breath alcohol level was underestimated by approximately 25% on average.
