The people whom I know, who also consume large amounts of alcohol, like lets say 3 beers on a week day, 8 beers on the weekends are some what overweight and have huge beer bellies, Is it because of the beer they are consuming?

I just had to ask, because ever since I have been seing my high school classmates whom all graduated in 2006. All of them are big partiers, have gained like 30 lbs, and I'm the only person who lost 15 lbs lol.

yes beer is fatning beer is made with yeast. and all alcohol products no matter is beer or wine or hard liqours are made with a sugary based fuel so to speak.

It's quite possible, maybe evne likely, that beer is the cause. Keep in mind also that alcohol slows the metabolism, which in turn can cause weight gain.

Its a mix of carbs and alcohol lowering your metabolism.
If your bothered by it try drinking light beer, wont solve the problem - but it will help a lil bit.

probably, its like liquid bread.
A lot of beer belly is actually the fatty tissue around the liver from poor liver function from drinking so much.
some has it and some don't.
Liquor on the other hand, has like no carbs, but its not good for overconsumption either.
My husband drinks like you stated, he's skinny everywhere but his belly.
Its pretty gross.

Depending on the type of beer, there may be leftover starches as well

although alcohol does slow the metabolism it is not this that causes the "beer guts" it is the carbohydrates that cause the pudge
