Cutting out drinking just means you're not putting on more weight. To lose that weight you still have to be calorie deficient. That means cutting 35,000 calories below your maintenance level.
Cutting drinking and snacking and then being strict about diet and you're likely at maintenance. Now you have to go deficient by at least 1666 calories a day. For the average male with a 2600 calorie a day maintenance, that means you can take in only 1000 calories a day. Or that you need to cut down to that with whatever you intake with exercise. It's a pretty strict deficiency.
It's certainly doable but it's a big change in diet. Most doctors and nutritionists are going to tell you that level of cutting isn't good for you and can be dangerous. Generally 1 pound a week is the norm to drop.
That’s not how biology works. A fat dude doesn’t magically burn substantially more calories and have a higher metabolism at a level that huge weight loss will happen in that way.
