its the same but it just some one gets fat from beer instead of food. you can take 2 different people and let one drink beer and one eat food, they both will get fat but they r getting fat different ways. so if you got a friend who you know drinks beer every day and gets fat because of it, its called a beer belly. if u have a friend who eats large amounts of food and gets a belly becaus of it, its called a food belly.

Same thing. A beer belly is one that has no muscle definition and sticks out significantly from the rest of the body.

Ur belly is really inflated

idk lol

A beer belly is actually a dated term from the swelling alcoholics experience from liver problems, but a beer belly is something that cannot be proved as being caused from beer. It's technical term is "central obesity."

There is no difference except the cause. Both are forms of central obesity, but the "beer belly" is most likely due to the excess consumption of carbohydrates in the form of beer. Biologically identical though.

Hope this helps.

is a big belly but if you touch it is hard.

It is usually someone who suffers from diabetes and cant metabolize sugar, its not from drinking Beer. That is an urban legend.

A man that sits in the bar all the time drinking beer!
That's here! Not everywhere else though!

they drink alot of beer but i really dont know

Doc Hollywoods answer is wrong. "beer belly" is not a term related to diabetes. been a diabetic my entire life. never heard of that before.
to answer the original ?, i think "beer belly" is an old term that was labeled to an overweight person who someone knew was also a heavy beer drinker.
hope you find the answer you're looking for. cheers!!!

the beer belly is in fact a myth. Beer has absolutely no fat and very low carb even at regular kinds. "beer bellies" are in fact just regular fat bellies. When you drink beer are you jogging, or are you sitting around, it's a ver sedentary thing. Also what do you eat when you drink beer? Veggies? I think not, it's fatty foods like pizza. Simply watch eating habits, and go for a jog every now and then, and "beer bellies" are no problem

I can only answer for myself. A beer belly is a very firm, large and obvious abdominal muscle that I got by drinking excessive amounts of beer over the last 4 decades
