Men tend to accumulate fat around the stomach. This is also known as beer belly, abdmonial obesity or central obesity. Although drinking beer can add a lot of calories and result in abdominal obesity, there are many other factors which contribute to beer belly. Unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise are the major factors which cause beer belly
Researchers did not find a strong link between drinking beer and beer belly. However, binge drinking twice a week can easily increase your daily calorie intake and cause central obesity. Drinking the same amount of beer over a week’s time rather than binge drinking is less likely to result in beer belly. In spite of drinking beer, lack of physical activity and eating high-calorie foods are the major culprits of beer belly
