Dr. Who Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 How can one be an alcoholic and remain slim? Like if you look at a lot of all the time great alcoholics, Errol Flynn, David Niven, Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, F. Scott Fitzgerald, all those guys basically drank themselves to death yet they retained slim faces and slim bodies. How can one be an alcoholic yet not get bloated in the body or face? How can one be an alcoholic, or engage in alcohol at least once a week, without liver damage or long term liver problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) You're not an alcoholic if you drink once a week. You're not even an alcoholic if you drink once a day really. Not properly anyways.Also the guys that you talk about liked the hard liquor which doesn't really put the weight on you.

arnold layne Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Because many replace food calories with calories from alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Drink ten pints of beer a day and your weight will balloon but that won't happen if you stick to the harder stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) When I drink, I only drink Jack, Jameson, or Smirnoff. Beer and Ales have no effect on me at all. plus I should add I hate the taste of beer. Beer tastes like the liquid form of a burp. Vodka and Jack taste nice once you get over the burn. I like red wine, but it has to be rich. But that's not heavy. Edited November 26, 2014 by Dr. Who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Welcome back, Miser.First, drinking once a week barely counts as drinking let alone being an alcoholic, and like Dazey said if you drink just hard liquor it makes a difference. It's the mixers that'll add the weight to you, so if you drink it straight you're fine. Same thing with beer really, If you have one or two your body should be able to handle it but if you drink a 6-pack or more you'll probably look bloated in the morning.

SoNobodyToldYaBaby Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 My dad was an alcoholic and had the charactertic beer gut but was actually underweight because he would barely eat anything. I remember one time he was drinking some shit called banana beer and tried to convince me their was 'a dinners worth in it' lol he was such a funny man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Maybe exercise? Seems like a lot of work, I know.I started running this year to compensate for my alcohol calories as I'd been on a slow, but steady gain since I started drinking. Lost 20 pounds this Summer, so it certainly does the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Alcoholics actually tailor their whole life around alcohol. You are literally on a liquid diet. The people with beer guts are not genuine alcoholics. They are just fat beer drinking slobs. It goes back to what Alice Cooper said: you never see an alcoholic drunk or slobbing over; the genuine alcoholics carry a bottle of Listerine around and mints and go into work and actually, function. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Alcoholism is subjective. I have at least two beers everyday and more on weekends. Fuck it. Don't worry about shit. My grandpa's neighbor smokes packs and packs of cigarettes a day and he's still chugging along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Alcoholism is a state whereby when you try to quit there's a good chance you might die, its a very extreme state of affairs which is not characterised by your average 5 pints a night type lad. True alcoholism gives you the shits and the shakes when you try to quit, it is about abject misery, its not this new age thing where they go 'all drinking according to routine is a form of alcoholism' which is sort of like saying all eating of food above that which you need to survive constitutes an eating disorder, its rubbish.

DieselDaisy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 They have created a new term for milder forms of alcoholism: ''alcohol dependency''. It is all bollocks at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I think the real question is; how in the fuck do you gain weight as an alcoholic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
