Well, I think there's a lot of different ways to put on weight -- drinking was only my own. Other alcoholics find they gain weight in recovery, oddly enough. The body's a funny thing, and I think we're much more individual than we think we are, physiologically as well as psychologically.
I've always had a high baseline metabolism. It seems my alcohol intake overwhelmed that -- but others (the non-technical term is "drunkorexics") seem to function fine taking in most of their calories from booze ... until they don't function well at all.
Maybe I should eat more starches and proteins, and exercise more? Muscle mass be good for pulling the birds, I'm told.
