Even the resolve of some vegetarians can crumble when faced with a juicy cheeseburger after a long night of drinking, according to a new survey.

Mmm Mmm!

The survey of 1,789 Brits who claimed to be vegetarians found that 37% of the respondents admitted to eating meat after having too much to drink. The survey by the discount website VoucherCodesPro found that while some break the rules, the majority of vegetarians stick to their dietary restrictions, Fox News reported.

Sixty-three percent of vegetarians reported that they did not eat meat regardless of how much they drank.

When asked how often the rule breakers ate meat, the responses varied --- 34% said every time they drink, 26% said fairly often, 22% said rarely, and 18% said occasionally.
