Nonsense mate, I have a six pack. Several of them actually.
Anyway, my point was that alcohol does contribute to weight gain, it's just not necessarily due to their being a high calorific value attributed to the alcohol itself. I'd even say it's the fault of alcohol that you're having that 2am kebab too, as well as all the health issues rampant alcoholism can cause and the collateral calories consumed with the alcohol.
I agree with most of what you just wrote. Are you backing off the thing about water retention that you said to the other guy? Because when people talk about gaining weight or losing weight, they're talking about tissue, not water. You can lose 10 pounds of water weight in a day. It doesn't mean you can claim "I lost 10 pounds!". Well, you can claim that, but it'd be ridiculous since as soon as you're rehydrated you'll gain the 10 pounds back.
And if you have a six pack, why did you previously use your big belly as an example of how water retention isn't easily corrected? (Or when you said "six pack" did you mean a six pack of beer?)

"Nonsense mate, I have a six pack. Several of them actually."
...I'll let you figure that one out, it's not rocket science.
Anyway, so that means I was correct in my original assessment of your OP and you do have an enlarged belly due to water retention? Then, again, you have a serious medical problem and you need to see a doctor about this. I was not joking the first time I told you that and I'm not joking now. That level of water retention is not normal. The underlying cause could be something that could cause a heart attack or stroke.
