I know a lot of stick thin heavy drinkers and a lot of them make themselves throw up after a night of drinking (sometimes they don't even have to make themselves).

Now, where it's NOT so simple is satiety and blood sugar. There is plenty of evidence indicated that the types of food can impact satiety and help people feel full, and hence eat fewer calories.
But CICO is still fundamentally correct.

Bodies are different.
People metabolize calories differently, but not by so much that it is the difference between slim and obese. It's estimated that the vast majority of people are within 200 calories of one another (a.k.a. 3 Oreo cookies or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter).

"Metabolic rate does vary, and technically there could be large variance. However, statistically speaking it is unlikely the variance would apply to you. The majority of the population exists in a range of 200-300kcal from each other and do not possess hugely different metabolic rates."

How is it digested?
Every time I drink the food just sticks to me!
