  We determine an asymptotic formula for the number of integral points of
bounded height on a certain toric variety, which is incompatible with part of a
preprint by Chambert-Loir and Tschinkel. We provide an alternative
interpretation of the asymptotic formula we get. To do so, we construct an
analogue of Peyre's constant $\alpha$ and describe its relation to a new
obstruction to the Zariski density of integral points in certain regions of
varieties.
