No link between a “beer belly” and the amount of beer you drink.

Researchers in Britain and the Czech Republic surveyed almost 2,000 Czechs, who are generally regarded as the world's biggest beer drinkers. If they think the Czechs are the world's biggest beer drinkers the researchers must not have ever been in the stands at a Cubs or Red Sox game.

They found no link between the amount of beer they drink and the size of their stomachs

2. That's why I call my considerable gut a "Pepsi belly!"

Or a "Ben & Jerry's belly," whichever you prefer. Both labels would apply to my midsection!

3. Beer belly 'gene' found

Genetic make-up could be to blame for the beer belly.

Scientists have found that men with a certain gene variation have a tendency to get a flabby stomach.

7. Is it true alcohol does not make you fat?

I heard somewhere that alcohol calories are not the same as food calories because alcohol is broken down differently. I do not drink often. I know some people who do who would be consuming close to a thousand calories in alcohol daily who are not overweight.
