Alcoholic drinks have a shit ton of calories, but I personally know many skinny people who drink an insane amount of beer & liquor. Even if they didn’t eat anything, the calories from the drinking alone should be enough for them to put on weight. How come they don’t? Does the body lose it’s ability to take in the energy properly if it’s mostly coming from alcohol?

One of my friends had a brief stint in severe alcoholism.
After several years of binge drinking, he suddenly didn’t crave food anymore and had zero appetite. It worried him that he would skip several meals for days on end but just kept drinking more and more.
He was losing weight and some of his friends kept cheering him on saying, “Yeah! lose that gut!” But he went to go see a doctor who didn’t say anything other than that he just needed to quit drinking.
