How come all alcoholics are not extremely overweight?

768 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?

Alcoholics generally lose weight if they give up drinking. I used to drink quite often when I was DJing but I would also be on my feet dancing and sweating for like 8+ hours so I didn’t gain weight. It also motivated me to start jogging so the net gain was less than the calorie usage but it’s not a healthy life style. I felt pretty run down a lot of the time and when I cut out alcohol I found I felt more neutral and better overall.
