It could be both the alcohol and the drug, but it's hard to know.
I worked out hard when I was drinking and even with all the endurance events I was doing, couldn't outwork the amount of calories I was putting in my system, esp as I got older.
Like others, I'd also eat terrible food during a night of heavy drinking. I'd usually put on 10 pounds during my favorite beer season. I usually went on WW to manage my weight after the holidays.
With giving up drinking, weight is no longer an issue.

I hear olanzapine makes you gain weight but I also hear alcohol does too but quitting the medication is out of the question because even if i wanted to stop taking olanzapine i cant but i can with alcohol.
Makes you eat unhealthy "Hey let's go to McDonald's for 4 double cheesburgers!!!"
Slows your metabolism
Taxes your live, so you process stuff more slowly & not as well.
Yes, bad. I don't know what olanzapine is, but I can't imagine taking that with alcohol is a terrific thing that's wonderful for your health.
