Beer alcoholics can be fat, hard liquor not gonna happen.

Depends on how many calories you burn.

If calorie intake is 1 and calorie burn is also 1, you have 0 surplus calories. Let's say you have 1 extra calorie (keeping it simple) , the source is important. Alcohol > sugar > oil > bread/carb foods > veggies/fiber,etc... in terms of how much of that 1 cal your body can extract and convert to fat for long term storage.

I wish there was diet alcohol lol.

I didn't even consider beer alcoholism. It would still have to be just bad eating habits, though. I know skinny people who drink several litters beer a day and the fatsos whole like this stuff have always been somewhat big. It's not the alcohol, no

whiskey has 70 calories in an ounce, you can absolutely get fat from hard liquor, the only liquor that wont get you fat is the disgusting kind

They’re probably not an alcoholic. Hard liquor alcoholics throw up, have diarrhea, and struggle to eat.

Chances of getting fat increase if you’re drinking 15-20 beers a day.

real alcoholics don't throw up. they do struggle to eat. in fact its pretty usual to to forget, or just not.

when I quit drinking I was _appalled_ at how much I had to eat. probably twice what I had been. and I lost quite a bit of weight.

Can your body fully process those calories? I know nuts are calorie dense but you don’t get the full caloric value.
