What effect did drinking have on your weight?

I've seen a lot of alcoholics that are very skinny due to lack of nutrition (I suppose). But then I see some who get big bellies (the so-called beer belly).

I used to be very thin, before I turned into a full-fledged alcoholic. Over the past 10 years I've put on 30-40 lbs and am now trying hard to lose it. Not easy!

I never stopped eating because of my drinking. I didn't always eat dinner because that was my drinking time. I didn't drink during the day so I ate plenty and then for dinner would have 8 or 10 or 12 beers and then eat something later in the evening as I was winding down.

What effect did drinking have on YOUR weight? And how has stopping drinking effected it?

I'm having a brain cramp. Is it effect or affect?
