Question:

What is a beer belly? And why does it happen.?


Answers:

There is no clinical understanding of a beer belly.

Alcohol is high in calories, and its consumption can produce weight gain. Many men tend to gain weight around their stomach. Thus, men that drink a lot of beer and accumulate fat in that area are said to have a beer belly. If you drink zero alcohol but consume large quantities of calories (fatty foods, for example), the same thing will happen.

However, if you drink a lot of alcohol, via beer, wine or spirits, you can damage your liver. The liver is the organ that processes fat. Not related directly to your question, but something to keep in mind.
