I truly don't understand how alcoholics get fat

Slight beer gut? Sure.

Legit fat? Never made any sense to me. Even at times when I'd easily knock back 12+ beers per day on a light day of drinking, I never got all that fat from it. Because when it's beer you're drinking like that, you usually trade a meal or two out for the day to make more room for the beer. When it's hard liquor, that's usually not high enough calorie to matter compared to whatever other calories you pass on unless you're mixing it with a bunch of fruity cocktail drinks. Meanwhile, you hear the odd story about some 300 - 400+ lb lardasss who blames it primarily on alcohol. I don't get it at all, and am convinced they understate their eating habits.

Its mostly genetics that determine your weight. I for instance could not get to 400 lbs if I tried my hardest, but someone else can get there in highschool.

Everyone I know who talked like that ate about 1,600 - 1,800 calories a day while wondering why they couldn't put on weight. The 300 - 400+ pounders were constantly binging on sweets, fast food and sugary drinks.

LOL The only alcoholics that arent fat are the ones that dont eat and puke everyday. And beer is about 200 calories a 12oz. so if i drink 20 beers you do the math.i dont eat much but when i drink i drink all day. Its easy as hell to get a beer gut. also my buddy weighed 1000lbs from mostly drinking everyday. only ate like twice a day. he only got down to 650 cause he was smoking crack everyday. alcohol will fuk up your metabolism and make you fat. thats the facts jack
