How come all alcoholics are not extremely overweight?

904 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?

It’s possible to be an alcoholic and still functional and health-conscious. It was one of the ways I convinced myself I didn’t have a problem. I’d cook healthy food and go for daily 5 mile walks. I was just constantly buzzed from drinking wine all day every day, I’d even bring a flask of wine on my walks. Then my liver gave out one day and I ended up in hospital for nearly a month.
