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?

Doctor here. They tend not to eat that much at all. Which is why when we admit them we have to supplement all sorts of stuff, classically B12. They get their calories but no micronutrients.
