Discussion: Why do heavy drinkers usually not gain weight significantly compared to heavy smokers during rehab programs?

The explanation lies mainly in liver function. Prolonged cessation of alcoholic beverages often allows for the rehabilitation of the liver. There is an inverse correlation between liver condition and body weight. A liver that functions better leads to weight loss and vice versa. For smokers who quit smoking, the compensation comes through increased eating. However, this is usually a temporary condition during the withdrawal period. The explanation for the phenomenon is found in the energetic dimension of the energy centers. (Chakras)
