It's not the alcohol itself which makes a person "fatty", it's the fact that when you eat and then consume larger amounts of alcohol, your liver prioritizes to break that down the alcohol rather then the food you have just eaten seeing it as alcohol is toxic. Your body will then store the carbohydrates not broken down by the liver as fat.
