" beer belly" is false. You don't get a beer belly from drinking beer. In fact alcohol has been proven to make you lose weight. When you drink, your not hungry, specially the next day if your even somewhat hung over.
Haha.
The correlation between beer bellies and people who frequent the pub and drink a lot on a regular basis is staggering from what I've seen and known.
haha is right. Beer is not responsible for the beer belly, it is the food that they eat while drinking. Pub's food have an incredibly high calorie count. And again im talking about being hungry the next day. What do you think is more of a hinder? eating one big meal that night, or eating barely anything the next day? do the math.

Read both and I still stand firm that alcohol most definitely can cause you to gain weight. That study didn't specify who exercised, who ate well, who didn't, the age of the individual, etc.
a 25 year old male who eats right and exercises probably won't see much of an impact from light to moderate use of booze, boozing heavy will hit testosterone hard/hydration/endurance/etc... but I guess exercising can offset it some, still terrible for the body.
a 50 year old male who doesn't eat right, doesn't exercise, and drinks heavily, is going to gain a lot of weight.
Ok still stand at that. Thats fine. Thinking from a medical stand of view it would make sense that drinking correlates with weight gain. There are have been tests that show weight loss though, and none that show weight gain.

I don't know what you're getting at.
If the extra weight was from food,you'd get bigger all round,not just a pregnant belly.
Let's just look at this.

Guy #2 has a full blown beer belly and #4 is on the way.
Sure,food might be some of this but drink is the main thing. Notice the waist hasn't increased in either and usually doesn't in beer belly cases. Jean size stays the same,yet a belly might hang over the front.
If you were to get fat from food,your jean size would be going up and you'd be more rotund all round,not just the belly.
