"There is little scientific evidence that beer drinkers are more prone to abdominal obesity, despite it being known colloquially as beer belly, beer gut, or pot belly. One of the few studies conducted on the subject did not find that beer drinkers are more prone to abdominal obesity than nondrinkers or drinkers of wine or spirits." - wikipedia
Men are more prone to carrying their weight in front and they drink more beer than women do. These two points have conspired to give the illusion that beer causes bellies.
Beer contains a lot of carbohydrates but so does bread. However, bread is eaten in large quantity by most people, at least half of whom don't have beer bellies, so it isn't called a bread belly.

Beer contains "empty" calories. It is not just funny water. And when you drink to excess or eat to excess the weight becomes fat in the belly. Hence if you drink a lot of beer the "beer belly."

It's very high in calories, and has low nutrients. So you make a bad nutrition bargain when you drink beer (or any alcohol).

Think about it.... excessive carbs. Carbs not burned turn into fat. And fat collects on the belly, thus beer belly.

excess calories=more fat. fat cells on men tend to accumulate around the chest (man boobs) and stomach (beer belly). whereas women get in the their hips and thighs.

if there is no exercise or large consumtions of beer, the answer is yes... the bad part of beer is the excess carbohydrates (complex sugars) that your body doesn't burn.

Because if you drink 10 that's about half your daily reccomended caloric intake.
