A third of so-called vegetarians eat meat when they are under the influence of alcohol, a survey has found.

One in three have also said they eat meat every time they were drunk on a night out with kebab meat and beef burgers being the most common.

Around 39 per cent said they ate kebab meat when they were under the influence, while 34 per cent said they opted for beef burgers.

Twenty-seven per cent of 'vegetarians' said they ate bacon, with 19 per cent devouring fried chicken and 14 per cent eating pork sausages.

It's important for friends of these 'vegetarians' to support them when drunk and urge them not to eat meat

But 69 per cent of vegetarians said they did not tell anyone after they had eaten meat.

The survey was conducted by Voucher Codes Pro, a money saving website, which questioned 1,789 people in the UK who were vegetarians.

George Charles, founder of the website, said: "I know a few 'vegetarians' who sometimes crave meat, but it seems that a few are giving into their cravings when drunk.

"I think it's important for friends of these 'vegetarians' to support them when drunk and urge them not to eat meat as I'm sure they regret it the next day."
