He then went on, again in excruciating detail, about how the Bible describes "drunkenness". IIRC, it was a bunch of stuff from Proverbs about "staggering around" and "eyes seeing strange things".

The last time I was “home” I couldn’t believe how much weight people were carrying on their former svelte frames. Most were on some sort of anti depressants that caused them to gain weight. Others were just depressed and ate their feelings. It’s sad really.

some people do overeat and they aren’t obese
I don't think they overeat then. It's all about how much you eat, what you eat and your energy expenditure. If you have a tough physical job then you need way more calories.
