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

879 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?

I’ve read that men are more likely to put on weight in the belly area while with women fat tends to get spread more over the entire body but I have no idea if that is true, perhaps someone with medical knowledge can chip in
