that one can feel so heavy, yet hollow at the same time? (And... no... I am not talking about being full after eating dinner but still being hungry.)

I may feel or look like this, but without the beer.

Speaking solely for myself, from my own experience with that very same phenomenon...it was because "the weight" was coming from external issues, pressures, situations, etc. and my inability to deal with them along with a sense of apathy that it wouldn't matter anyway. While at the same time I felt I had nothing left "in the tank" (inside) to give anymore. I felt helpless to combat the heaviness or anything else I was feeling and frankly, at that point I no longer really cared about it. I had accepted that fate as my lot in life. Boy was I ever wrong...
The solution for me...was getting a balance in the basic aspects of what makes us human: the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual sides of life.
And the key for me, the hardest part of that challenge BY FAR was getting "right" spiritually...when I did, everything changed drastically for the better.
Hmm... see your struggle makes perfect sense to me. "... it was because "the weight" was coming from external issues, pressures, situations, etc. and my inability to deal with them..." In the most simplistic terms, a person's inability to deal with things is ultimately what leads them to use alcohol and/or drugs as a crutch, or as their one way ticket on the train of life. (You know where that leads.)
I struggle with my inability not only to deal with things, but to simply live life, even to just exist, because in the darkness I have seen where the train is headed.
