My grandpa (81 years old) didnt drink alot of beer, yet he has a gigantic beer gut.
My grandpa's brother (78) has a very large beer gut, but I do not know if he was even a drinker.
My father (45) drinks beer daily and drank a lot more often in his past, but his beer guy is not that big, but there.
Me (24) drank beer every weekend in college, but do not drink beer hardly ever anymore. I am not real fat, but I just have a little excess fat on my stomach. When I push out, it really scares me, because there is room for me to have a huge gut for my size.
Is this genetic? Is this my future, nothing I can do aobut it? I am scared lol.

its not genetic.
everybody has differnet places on their bodies fat reserves are most likely being stored - for women its usually all over their bodies or a few places like belly and butt, but for men its usually on their belly.
it doesnt matter how many beers you drink - you gain weight when you consume more calories than spend during the day and beer has a lot of calories so exess amount is transfered into fat reserves.
exercise (cardio is the only fat burning exercise) and dont consume more calories than spend during a day and you will not get big gut.

The "beer gut" is from not exercising the abdominal muscles enough, and taking in too many calories in general in comparison to how much exercise you're getting.
Drink beer in moderation, get plenty of exercise, and practice holding your stomach in.

try doing some cardio exercises to burn fat, such as running, or anything that gets your heart rate up. also do some sit ups, this may prevent a beer gut

Although genetics can play a factor, alcohol is one of the most fattening substances.
Here is an article that explains why:
