BUT, alcohol and weight are not unrelated. That 750 mL of vodka you drank had about 1600 Calories in it, about 4/5 of all you'd need for an entire day. Even if you only ate 2000 Calories of food, you'd still be way in excess. I don't suggest you cut out the food, though.
once you start drinking a bunch you process it differently. I highly doubt I get 7 calories per gram. Spitballing but it's probably more like 2-3. There are people who drink a handle (1.75L) of liquor every day and most are thin.
this is just a fyi. You're right that its effecting my weight and body comp negatively.
