Alcohol abuse or dependence is not more common among obese people than non-obese people according to a study by researchers at the Wellington School of Medicine and Health Sciences at Otago University in Wellington South, New Zealand. In fact, people who are obese are 10 percent less likely to have a problem with alcohol than non-obese people. Data from the U.S. shows that alcohol problems are 40 percent less common among obese people than non-obese people.
