demonstrates that bacterial-induced inflammation can occur in healthy
individuals with single episodes of binge drinking:
Similarly,

inflammation promotes alcohol consumption:
Taken
together, these results suggest that a single episode of binge drinking could
result in endotoxin-induced inflammation and promote the desire for more
alcohol.
