It's a way to stay thin.  I'd never call it a way to stay healthy.  High
alcohol consumption tends to elevate triglycerides, for one thing.  And
of course it's devoid of micronutrients, as is fat, for the most part.
So a diet based on alcohol and fat is likely to have serious
micronutrient deficits.  But for some of these models it's worth it.
