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

885 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?

To add to this, many men who have a beer gut also have poor muscle tone, and have diastasis recti. Which can cause the belly to bulge and distend.
