eli5: What is actually causing the “beer belly” appearance?

891 viewsBiologyOther

I was wondering how people get beer belly just by frequent drinking. Is it just body fat? Are your organs getting larger or something? Is beer actually making your stomach large and round or are you just gaining weight?

Pretty much every part of alcohol metabolism shuts off fat burning networks and upticks fat forming networks in the body.
Alcohol itself is processed into the building block of fat as well
