why do some alcoholics have a huge belly and some remain thin?

I sort of understand visceral fat, but I know people who drink a bottle of hard liquor a day with no belly, yet some remain skinny with a similar amount.

One guy on my job was a serious alcoholic. His real name was Albertini-very Italian. People called him Al. Eventually, when we figured out he was hard drinking out of his car during breaks, people called him Al-coholic (ha ha). He was thinner than a rail. Got fired.

Another guy who was putting away hard liquor at home every night (he told us) seemed pretty normal weight. Out of shape middle aged guy-the usual. Eventually his belly just got HUGE–like he was nine months pregnant. Then he was out of work. His liver had conked out or something. He had to get constantly drained at the hospital. He died eventually.

Guy #2 was drinking lots of the hard stuff like guy #1. I don’t know why it can go one way or the other. I just know real hard drinking can destroy you.
