Caloric Absorption

how are you even supposed to be an alcoholic and not be overweight

like vodka is basically 2 calories a gram

If you drink a fifth of vodka that's basically 1500cals - more if you mix it

do alcoholics just eat nothing?

Water
No
BMI calculator says I'm overweight kek

Water always, alcohol occasionally
Nah, 10 years ago sure.
Overweight if based on BMI, shredded sub 10% bf sick cunt otherwise.
We should just drop the whole BMI shit.

Whisky
Yes
No

Water
Rarely
Morbidly

I'm not the person to explain it, but alcohol calories work differently. I was told that your body burns them first and foremost, but I think that there is more to it than that.
I am on a calorie cutting diet, and I lose weight while getting hammered on "clear" alcoholic beverages. Off and on for 3 years. It's weird; the calories of the clear alcohol don't seem to matter.
Drug and alcohol councelor told me that, yes, a person can actually survive on alcohol alone... just not for very long.

TL:DR
sugar alcohols differ from other sugars in the way they work/metabolize.

Rum or Vodka mixed w/ diet soda
No
No im pretty jacked and strong

Water or coke
Yes, one to two packs a week
No

I smoked a cigar once, but aside from that /tobaccofree/.
>Are you overweight?
A bit.

>black coffee

>underweight

>What is your drink of choice?

Black coffee is my poison.

I'm not the Bacchus type, it's just not my thing. Not a sand negro either.

>Do you smoke cigarettes?

Nah, not into tobacco either.

>Are you overweight?

No, but I used to be.

None
No
A little

Used to be rum and diet pepsi, before I quit.

Yes. I'm 295lbs.

diet coke
nope
yes, very

Coffee when not drinking. Wine or spirits when drinking. I am not a beer drinker.

No, I smoke a pipe. I'm not trying to be autistic - my grandfather smoked a pipe when he used to take me fishing and I do it to remember these times. And probably tobacco addiction.

BMI is 31. I'm 197cm tall, though.

Straight whiskey
Like 1-2 times per month
Slightly but I'm almost 6'3 so it hides well

Tell us what you're looking for, you mong.

A person doesn't even need food or water or oxygen or a heart to survive... just not for very long.

>"clear" alcoholic beverages
There is no difference in the way your body metabolizes a shot of vodka and a shot of whiskey.

>diet coke
>overweight

Every fucking time.

I don't know a single skinny person who drinks diet drinks.

Lots of water
Used to smoke and was 6'2 140lbs. Quit smoking now i'm 190.
I was underweight now i'm normal.

kek

7 or 8% hard ciders
no, just weed 4 me

It's a confirmation bias, why would you subject yourself to the horrors of fake sugar taste unless you were trying to lose weight

>Beer or wine. Sometimes homemade booze from a farm my dad knows
>Yes lucky strikes and rollies
>No. 60 kg for 176 cm

R u me

>It's a confirmation bias
There's no doubt that my personal anecdotal experience is confirmation bias. I'm aware of that.

However, it's worth noting that there are many studies that show strong correlational evidence between diet drinks and obesity.

jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/2521471

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jgs.13376/abstract;jsessionid=DA63AF57394F4A357C6987407EA25E8A.f03t04

nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/pdf/nature13793.pdf

Again, I know it's correlational, so there's certainly an interesting thing going on here.

I don't think that diet drinks inherently cause obesity in any significant way, but I do think that the type of person who would drink a diet soda has other habits and tendencies that cause obesity.

You have no fucking clue what you are talking about.
