many people say beer increases stomach fat, is it true? on what basis?

Answer 1

Partially it is because the excess of calories ingested, but also the products of alcoholic deshidrogenase (the enzyme that metabolize alcohol) are thought to be easier transformed to fat.... the approximate caloric content of 1gr od alchol is 7 Kcal, compared with 4kcal of 1 gr of sugar!!1 think about that :P

Answer 2

It is real simple. Beer drinkers consume too many calories and are sedentary. If you work out and keep your total calories in check, beer will not create a gut.

Remember the older you get, the slower your metabolism becomes.

Answer 3

Beer contains about 170 calories per bottle. Excessive consumption of any thing caloric will cause the production of fat. Beer drinkers tend to consume beer in excess of their caloric needs, thus they get fat
