Why do you think they call it a "beer belly"?

If you consume more calories than your body uses as fuel, then the excess calories are stored as fat. If you consume fewer calories than your body uses as fuel, then your body makes up for the shortage of calories by converting stored fat into energy.
That's the bottom line in how food works. To lose weight, eat less and exercise more ... eat fewer calories and use more fuel.
You would starve to death if you drank one beer each day and ate nothing else. You will get fat if you drink a six pack of beer each day, plus three full meals. It isn't beer that makes you fat, it's how much beer you drink that can make you fat.

Its not the beer that makes you fat, its the food you eat while you have your beers. The beer slows down your metabolism so when you eat chips, nuts or pizza with it, it takes alot longer to break down.
ps great picture, do you want to go on a date sometime.

Beer contains calories. Burn more calories than you eat/drink and you will lose weight. It doesn't matter where the calories come from: beer, chocolate, lettuce. The math is the same. See more here: http://www.united-nations-of-beer.com/beer-belly.html

Not right away, but eventually. Men do, after all. That's why they're called, Beer Bellies.

Depends on how much beer you drink, if it's occassionally then no, if it's a lot then yes, it's high in calories.

You could if you drink a lot. Or if you drink WAY too much, you could turn into an emaciated person, all skin and bones.
Take it in moderation and get plenty of healthy food and exercise.

Nah you will be fine. My older brother only gained 30 more pounds after spending 1 year drinking at alpha-delta phi in 1997 .
