Topic: Alcohol and Gaining Weight
When someone thinks about college, I'm pretty one of the first things comes to mind is drinking alcohol. A bunch of 18-22 year olds jammed into the same area. With this being said, consuming alcohol slows down your metabolism and makes you more prone to gain weight. According to the article from the New York Times, the meal in which you consume accounts for 75% of the weight you gain while drinking alcohol only accounts for 25%. In contrast, if you were to consume a cheeseburger and a couple beers while eating that, they would both effect you similarly. This article can be beneficial to the Johnson Center because many college students drink alcohol and if they knew that 25% of the weight they gain comes from consuming alcohol then maybe they could hit the gym more often than not.
