Alcohol temporarily halts sugar metabolism as the body views it as a digestible poison and grants alcohol digestive priority. Sugars not metabolized by the liver must either be pissed out or stored as fat, but passing excess sugars to the kidneys takes time all the while the priority for the kidneys is passing alcohol not metabolized by the liver using as much stored water as it takes.

The same way pizza and bread make you fat. I tried anything from wine to vodka, if I drink enough to get drunk, unless I compensate with a really good food diet and a ton of workout, I will gain weight. What makes you gain weight is not just the raw calories but relative to food, it is very efficient in delivering most of those calories to your blood.

"Don't drink your calories"

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

Each beer is like 300 to 400 calories. And then you eat bar food when you're drunk which is not known as the worlds healthiest.
