Boozy diet of young holiday Britons

This amounted to 11,144 calories for a week-long holiday and exceeded the daily average of 1,310 calories for food, with the weekly food total being 9,170 calories.
Of the 1,736 people aged 18-25 who were questioned, 84% said they had consumed alcohol on their last holiday abroad.
A total of 63% admitted to drinking every day, with 92% saying they felt they ate less on holiday than at home.
Around half put their lack of eating down to "the heat", while 28% cited the expense of food abroad.
Sunshine.co.uk co-founder Chris Brown said: "I can certainly relate to not wanting to eat as much in hot temperatures - warm weather does seem to have that effect on some people.
"However, 1,592 calories a day is a huge amount to be consuming through alcohol alone, so I was really shocked to see that number in comparison to the calories taken in from meals and snacks."
