Surprising but true -- recent studies showed that heavy drinkers log more time at the gym than their teetotalling counterparts. What's not clear is why -- though maybe the extra exercise is an attempt to make up for the previous night's dieting sins.

But proceed with caution. Drinking -- especially binge drinking -- also increases your waist size, so you'll really need those extra hours at the gym.
