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?

If you’re from the US:
They are most likely overweight, but you don’t notice it because over 66% of the US is overweight (BMI above 25), and 33% of the US is Obese (BMI over 30).
Additionally, for those that are not overweight, that’s usually because they don’t eat much, since they prefer spending that money on alcohol instead.
(And before you go on a BMI rant, it’s the right tool here, since this goes over the entire population, and you ain’t going to tell me that 33% of the US are athletes.)
