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?

Alcohol metabolism provides nutrition for healthy humans. But people who drink a lot stop being healthy very soon. The intermediate substance in alcohol metabolism, acetaldehyde, is toxic and does a lot of damage. It’s not a good or safe way of getting energy. Eventually you lose the ability to metabolize alcohol with a net energy profit.
This, and you will also forget to eat a lot.
