Wine and spicy chicken wings, beer and meatballs spiked with red chilli paste, whisky and Jamaican jerk chicken - these combinations may sound like a joyous late night symphony to many. Spicy and nice-y, but if you are salivating at the thought of it, chances are, you might be more prone to alcohol problems. A study conducted by South Korea’s Busan National University explains why spicy food lovers are more likely to suffer from alcoholism.

The research also says, anti-alcohol-addiction drugs like Naltrexone could be extremely beneficial to people who love spicy food.

Naltrexone is an anti-addiction drug that stops people from experiencing pleasant sensations while they are drinking and curbing addiction in the long run. But studies showed that spicy food lovers resisted alcohol urges more than people who stayed off spicy foods by using Naltrexone.
