Yeah I know what your saying. I'm not trying to nitpick. I was just trying to say that unhealthy foods and ways of living effect you weight. Alcohol adds to that, it makes you gain weight. It just isn't confined to the belly area, and gaining weight in the belly isn't directly related to alcohol, just an unhealthy lifestyle. Lets say your dad kept drinking but changed his diet, he very easily could have lost the same amount of weight. I attribute weight gain to unhealthy living, if you go overboard any certain factors of that cause weight gain.... you going to gain weight. There are plenty of people who drink a lot but can keep slim by exercising or eating right.
