An Olympic sprinter joined a two week long binge drinking study, and immediately got ill, really ill. Katharine Merry, a bronze medalist in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, had to drink the equivalent of 2 wine bottles every three days, and after only four days, suffered a bacterial infection, blotchy skin, and lethargy. The story also says she gained two inches around the middle, but I think that's more attributable to the curtailing of her normal fitness regime, in which the study limited her to 5,000 steps a day. That's not a lot of calorie burn-off there. So, for all those downing a little bit too much of the "peanut nachos," watch out for those side effects besides the hangover, er, um, "food poisoning".
