Melanocortins, a group of signaling proteins, are found to be involved in both excessive food intake and alcohol intake. [4] Certain patterns of alcohol use may contribute to obesity. A study found frequent, light drinkers (three to seven drinking days per week, one drink per drinking day) had lower BMIs than infrequent, but heavier drinkers. [5]

[22] Women are also thought to have less alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzyme which is required to break down alcohol. [8]
