Drink alcohol and gain mass

You have probably noticed how common alcohol is on our culture. Am I right? We all got used to the fact that people are drinking on various occasions. When they are happy or when they are sad. It doesn^t matter actually. Any reason is good to drink something. At least that is what I have notice in Poland. I suppose other countries might have a different tradition and thus don^t know this problem. I think that despite the fact that people drink a lot of alcohol in this country there is not enough education of the consequences of this behavior. I guess that you as well have learned about pros and cons of alcohol from other people. They are not specialists either. There are also people who have learned how the alcohol influences our behavior through experience. I think that people are not aware of the fact that by drinking alcohol they can gain mass. Did you know about that? Alcohol has a lot of calories and if you don^t believe me there is plenty of articles about it online so you can check it out on your own and find a proof that you can gain mass due to excessive drinking. I think that the key is not to drink too much. Do you agree with me that this is the best way to handle this?
