Why do you get a beer belly?

Question

Obviously from drinking beer and alcohol, but why?

Answer 1

You get a beer belly from the amount of carbohydrates there are in beer. Because most beer drinkers dont exercise often enough to burn it off, it turns into fat. Beer companys have made "low carb" beers to entice the beer drinker who wants to look after their figure.

Try Hahn super Dry or Pure Blonde by Fosters (CUB)

Both are low carb beers

Answer 2

As You get Older,Beer tends to settle around the Stomach Area of a man(Women ,I'm not so sure).
As Your metabolism Slows(Normally after the age of 40+) then you have to start either reducing Intake of High calorie beer or Exercise MORE!!

Answer 3

"Beer Bellies" are actually not the result of beer. The reason why beer drinkers tend to get titanic tummies is because they usually eat high-calorie, high-fat food like potato chips, burgers and so on while knocking back the brewskis.

Answer 4

When you drink a lot of beer and don't gop to a restroom tooo often, the beer must accummulate somewhere. Most often it finds a good place in a (bigger and bigger) belly. It is the BEER belly.

Answer 5

Because beer has so many friggin calories!! It sucks, I know. I love beer, but not so much the consequences. Light beer just doesn't do the trick.... I'm forever in search of another substance that is as enjoyable yet contains less crap we don't need...Let me know, will ya?

Answer 6

Beer doesn't "sit around your middle" any more than eating food fills up 'hollow legs'. It's simply calories in versus calories out.
