Thanks for that explanation.

There's an undoubted link between alcohol and weight gain for me too, though it's more to do with what I eat if I have a drink or two. Alcohol is definitely calorific in itself of course, but I find it hard to sit in a pub for long without wanting to start munching crisps and peanuts. If I'm enjoying a glass of wine at home, out comes the cheeseboard and any other nibbles I can find - olives, cheese straws, biscuits, crisps, you name it. Then I hit the ice cream.

Terrible. :o
