How come all alcoholics are not extremely overweight?

784 views

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?

Unless you’re drinking mixed drinks or highly potent beer it’s really not that much compared to pretty much any other drink. Most alcoholics drink straight liquor/crappy beer which does at up but I’ve honestly seen way more fat people who don’t even realize that they’re getting fat from their coffee (especially Starbucks goers) or soda consumption.

But the term beer belly does come from something.
