Animal Instincts: 1 Out of 3 Vegetarians Secretly Eat Meat When They’re Drunk

Thirty seven percent of vegetarians admitted to eating meat when drunk, and even had specific preferences

A recent study of nearly 2,000 vegetarians has revealed something that most vegetarians we’ve met wouldn’t dare admit — a sizable portion of them eat meat when they’re drunk enough.

According to a recent poll from VoucherCodesPro, a British website for finding discount codes, a third of vegetarians (approximately 37 percent) find themselves giving in to the siren song of steak, or chicken, or pork, or bacon — to name a few temptations.

Although the remaining 63 percent of those polled said that their alcohol consumption does not lead to a lapse in dietary ethics, those who have slipped up even had their own specific vices.

When drunk, bacon was the indulgence of choice for 27 percent of vegetarians, while 19 percent craved fried chicken, and 14 percent opted for sausage. The two most popular choices, however, were meat kebabs for 39 percent, and burgers for 34 percent of vegetarians-when-sober.

That is why when somebody starts acting like an asshole when they drink, or are a "mean drunk" it is really them just showing their true self-


When sober those people are still assholes, just do a good job at covering it

The snippet provided says "polled" and implies people directly said they were vegetarian but there is no link.

Cop: "Could you please get out the vehicle sir, and eat this lukewarm greasy kebab."

Driver : "Mmmmmmm"

I've been vegetarian for 29 years and I've never knowingly eaten meat.

I don't keep meat in the house because, well, why would I? Are these people out at a bar? Drinking at a neighborhood barbecue and then deciding to eat a burger? Drunk driving over to the KFC?

I just don't get it.

It's a running joke in my social circle. We have a rather vocal vegan buddy, but when we've been out bar hopping, all bets are off.
