Weight Loss after quitting drinking?

My husband quit drinking 6 months ago. He was drinking 12 beers a day. At the most he was 183 lbs. at 5' 10". He had been 175 for a long time...Now he's 143! He's lost 40 pounds in 6 months, unintentionally.
He drank beer so long we don't even know what his "normal" weight should be, but he's getting worried now.
Have any of you experienced the same thing? (BTW he has a doctor app't next week to check this out.) Since he quit drinking he's had close contact with his dr. and he's had lots of blood tests and x-rays, etc. so we're wondering if just not having all those calories every day is that much of a factor? He eats a well-balanced diet.
