A recent study of nearly 2,000 vegetarians has revealed something that most vegetarians weve met wouldnt dare admit a sizable portion of them eat meat when theyre 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.

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

(6,530 posts)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.
