A drunken young woman who was found unconsciousness on a sidewalk in East China's Anhui Province later told police she drank herself into a stupor because she couldn't lose weight on her diet.

Fuyang police found the girl, Xiao Yu (pseudonym) intoxicated and sound asleep next to a street on Sunday.

Xiao said she went on a bender because she was frustrated that she was having trouble losing weight despite being on a diet.

The young woman said she had been exercising and had skipped eating dinner for a month to no avail.

After failing to lose weight, she took to drowning her sorrows.
