  Cutting out alcohol will have a significant effect on weight loss (positive effect). Alcohol gets consumed, for calories, more easily than sugars and other calorie sources. So your body will process your alcohol intake quickly. Once sated, calorically, your body has to do something with the rest of what you've eaten/drunk. This means it's expelled from the body, or stored (as fat) and your weight goes up (or stays high). It's a bit like sodas, here. It's easy to get many or most of the calories you need from alcohol (especially beers) and sugary sodas. You don't feel sated so you still eat, now you've exceeded your calorie goals and you end up gaining weight (or maintaining a higher than desired weight). Eliminating sodas and alcohol moves your caloric intake to be, predominantly, food stuffs. Now you'll feel sated when you're full from your meal, and, with a bit of planning and practice, before consuming too many calories.
