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

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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!
