This may sound like a really silly question, but...?!


Question: This may sound like a really silly question, but!.!.!.!?
Are beer guts genetic!? My father is German and drinks several beers a night!. He's done so since he was in his 20's and now he's 65!. I don't need a lecture about him drinking too much! He never ever gets drunk and his doctors have given him a clean bill of health (he gets physicals every year)!. The thing is, he does not have a beer gut at all! His sister is the same way!. She drinks beer every night and still, no beer gut!. Actually, she's very athletic! However, many other people I hear about who drink beer will develop a beer gut!. I'm just curious to know if this is genetic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
He may drink a lot of beer, but I'm willing to guess if he doesn't have a 'beer' gut, he doesn't eat a lot of unhealthy foods and probably does a bit of physical activity!. A few beers every day won't necessarily give you a gut, but eating fatty foods while drinking and sitting around all day certainly will!.

Same goes for his sister -- if she's athletic, she's burning off any calories she consumes drinking beer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not sure about it being genetic but if both your dad and his sister exercise regularly this could be why they haven't developed a beer gut!. It's normally a case of beer drinkers getting older and exercising less that invokes a beer belly!Www@FoodAQ@Com
