FWIW, people who cut out alcohol for muscle building reasons (As opposed to direct weight loss/diet reasons) are well aware that the effects of oestrogen release lasts for weeks, up to 6, iirc. It’s a pretty good reason to not drink.
For general weight loss, I’m unsure if the alcohol effects anything on a chemical level, but alcoholic drinks are calorie dense as hell.

Alcoholic drings have a lot of calories, but they are also known to increase your appetite. Finally, they can disrupt proper judgement, of whether you need to eat a dessert or not :)

A fun fact though: beer, milk and orange juice pretty much have the same calorie density. This is why I drink mostly water, very little milk and orange juice and hopefully not too much beer.

OJ I’m not surprised about at all but milk is way worse than what I thought it’d be!

When you drink, even in moderation, your mental clarity probably isn't at peak level again for at least two night's rest.
That's my experience anyway. People who think they're back in tip-top shape after a night out tend to be the ones who drink so often they live in a fog and can no longer distinguish between that and clear mindedness anymore. I think that's true for a surprisingly large amount of people.

Are you comparing that to a non-drinking night out that goes just as late?
Mental clarity not important for hangouts, toxins is a dumb buzzword, you're not working out tonight, etc.
The real list of reasons is probably very short, and should not be inflated to be annoying on purpose.
Edit: Okay, so why the downvotes? Am I wrong in interpreting "exhaustive" in the context of that post as "inflated to hell and back instead of trying to be a real list"? I would be very surprised if I'm misreading that.
