Not sure what you: Mean by 'powerful' advice. If you have alcoholism, it is common to gain weight - alcohol has 8 calories per gram (about 120 per drink) and if you are drinking enough, you can take in 1000's of extra calories. It also inflames the stomach, liver and pancreas. You need to stop, and most people need help stopping. Talk to your doctor about a referral to a treatment program and get help now.
