It’s the ruling we’ve all been waiting for:
Beer doesn’t cause a beer belly.
There’s nothing special about beer that causes you to get a “beer belly”.
You can just as easily have a wine belly, cider belly, tequila belly, or rum belly.
If you drink enough of any alcohol in any quantity over time, especially if you’re older, you will get fat.
Beer gets singled out because you tend to drink more of it at a time versus shots of tequila or glasses of wine.
Also, the accompanying food you have with beer, like pretzels, sausages, and cheese, can give you a “beer belly” all on their own.
SO STOP BLAMING BEER OK
