I am 51, healthy Male, with no known health problems. I have been taking 3-4 pegs of Whisky or Rum daily for last 20 years. Off late I have started gaining weight as I have full time sitting job. I do 30-40 minutes morning walk regularly and some free hand exercise too. Is the liquor culprit here, for my weight gain or does it cause weight gain?
