Alcohol and obesity are related. Someone who is a heavy drinker is increasing their required calorie count by 30-50%. If you take in to account the glycemic index these are very expensive calories. Choices are: exercise really hard (marathon training) or starve yourself of normal food. Most will end up overweight instead. I'm not convinced either of those three choices are healthy in the long run.
