CAUSES OF BEER BELLY

When you drink beer, your liver has to go into overdrive to detoxify the alcohol. When you add a few packets of crisps and maybe some peanuts , those calories are there to stay. Beer itself has plenty of calories , to the tune of around 150 calories a unit ,so that's why beer makes you fat.

Now why does it give you a beer belly specifically? The answer is down to two things apparently - gender and age. After about the age of 35 most men's metabolisms start to slow down. While men tend to put weight on their... bellies, women's fat stores commonly go on their backside and hips.

To cut down your beer belly- exercise regularly and try to drink less beer and eat less of those snacks we tend to accompany the beer.
