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

881 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 used to drink a ton for years and got the point where I looked pregnant which was GD ridiculous. It finally made me angry enough to make changes – cutting back (but not quitting) on drinking, switching from mostly beer/some liquor to mostly liquor/some beer, exercise and eating better. In 4-6 weeks I’ve seen significant results (but still not where I want to be).
