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.

Alcohol will be metabolized and used as calories. This is in addition to the other calories you often find in alcoholic beverages such as beer, cider and wine. On the other hand spending all your money on alcohol and drink it instead of eating food when hungry, actually preferring to go hungry to get drunk faster, is a way to lose weight because you eat less. And there are lots of other factors which play a big role in weight management, both related to the alcoholism and unrelated things.
