娱乐性饮酒是全球普遍存在的活动，酒精能量（每克7千卡）如果得不到补偿，可能是导致体重增加的一个因素。鉴于过量饮酒和肥胖都涉及公共卫生利益，本文提供了饮酒与体重之间关系的最新信息。总的来说，最近的前瞻性研究表明，少量到中度的酒精摄入与肥胖增加无关，而大量饮酒与体重增加更一致。实验证据也很复杂，表明适度饮酒不会导致短期随访期间体重增加。然而，许多因素可以解释这些相互矛盾的发现，需要对更容易因饮酒而体重增加的个体进行更好的描述。特别是，经常适量饮酒的人通常可以享受更健康的生活方式，这可能会保护他们免受体重增加的影响。总之，尽管目前的研究存在重要的局限性，但有理由说，酒精摄入可能是某些人肥胖的一个危险因素，这可能是基于多种因素，本文将讨论其中的一些因素。
Recreational alcohol intake is a widespread activity globally and alcohol energy (7 kcal/g) can be a contributing factor to weight gain if not compensated for. Given that both excessive alcohol intake and obesity are of public health interest, the present paper provides an update on the association between alcohol consumption and body weight. In general, recent prospective studies show that light-to-moderate alcohol intake is not associated with adiposity gain while heavy drinking is more consistently related to weight gain. Experimental evidence is also mixed and suggests that moderate intake of alcohol does not lead to weight gain over short follow-up periods. However, many factors can explain the conflicting findings and a better characterization of individuals more likely to gain weight as a result of alcohol consumption is needed. In particular, individuals who frequently drink moderate amounts of alcohol may enjoy a healthier lifestyle in general that may protect them from weight gain. In conclusion, despite the important limitations of current studies, it is reasonable to say that alcohol intake may be a risk factor for obesity in some individuals, likely based on a multitude of factors, some of which are discussed herein.
