No fat on you? That beer belly isn't really made of beer, you know.
The stomach is the main place fat is stored for men. Stop living in denial; you've already taken the first few steps to male obesity.

Would a switch to spirits help? It'd also be cheaper, iv been drinking a lot of beer for a few years and built up quite a resistance, so maybe spirits would get me drunk faster, and also not add to the beer belly?
Im doing a 10k run sunday, so that should help 😛 would have been better for me with training though.. a one off run shouldnt do too much.. especially as we're going out getting lashed after 🙄
Alcohol is created when the yest cultures "eat" the sugars in whichever substance is being fermented, alcohol is more or less their "excrement."
Your body processes alcohol by converting it back to the sugars, and those sugars make you fat. I am a walking testament to the fat consequences - just look at the Ireland meet-up photos from last year, and then this year.
Originally posted by mazziewagon men the fat is mostly stored around your inner organs, under the abdominal muscles. you can even have a visible 'six pack' no matter how fat you are, although that depends a bit on your genes. some men get more fat between the skin and abdominal muscles than others, but all of us get most of it inside.
ha what i meant was no fat under the skin that you can grab, it is purely on my stomach. so, the fat there is from food aswel as beer stuff? i just assumed if it was down to food too it would have got to other places.. guess not. vodka it is, with fruit snacks and more excercise..
if you're 18 and already developing a belly, I'd say your caloric intake is way more than what you burn. usually the belly starts to manifest itself around 25 years and up, as your metabolism gradually slowes down from the huge overdrive of the teenage growth spurt. at 32 I eat about half of what I ate at 18 without gaining weight, and the kilos still tend to accumulate.
if your caloric intake is more than your body burns, the surplus turns into fat and your weight goes up. it's that simple. it's also totally irrelevant whether you get the calories from beer, pizza, bread or vegetables. the math is simple, and everything else is excuses and self-delusion.

"You know what sounds good right now, man? Pizza."
"Yeah dude, pizza. And chips man, we should get some chips."
"Right bro, I forgot the chips. Oh! And ice cream, man, we definitely need ice cream."
"Sweet! Ice cream. Yo, we should get some of those chocolate bars, that like have the caramel in the middle, and some popcorn, caramel goes good with popcorn..."
And so on, until you have two fat stoners on the couch surrounded by pizza boxes, empty beer cans, and various other detritus related to an eating binge that would put even Bacchus to shame.
Edit: Oh. You were joking. Nevermind.
