I'll bet the real thing is going from moderate-to-what-most-of-us-would-say-is-a-lot-of alcohol to none. In my experience, nothing packs on the pounds like alcohol--and it's largely water weight. Which is weird, because it's also a diuretic, so that shouldn't make sense. But I know when I've been having more than a couple beers for a few nights in a row, or more than a couple times a week, I see it on the scale, and when I knock it off for a week or so, it comes right back off.
