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?

We don’t eat more than one meal a day which is when we feel well enough to get out of bed. At least that was the case for me
Well. Some just dont eat. They would rather spend the money on booze. Also easier to get drunk if you dont eat.
Not all alcoholics drink beer. A person who spends his days consuming vodka and water wouldnt be getting a lot of calories.
You’re making a lot of basic assumptions of alcoholism.
A buddy of mine was a raging alcoholic. He would go on multiple day benders. When he was on these benders he pretty much wouldn’t eat a thing. He would manage to escape the benders for a few days in which life seemed normal for him. He ate healthy and hit the gym for a few hours a day. The dude was ripped. Had a swimmer’s body.
It all caught up to him eventually and he died of alcohol poisoning at 30.
Not all alcoholics are fat lazy slobs. The disease affects everyone in very different ways.
