Why does alcohol make people fat?

Question

just wondering, so I can tell all my alcoholic friends! haha

Answer 1

it's not the booze. it's the added flavors, lots of sugar. And empty calories as wells as crazy amounts of carbs

Answer 2

Alcohol has sugar in it and most people are unaware and do not allow the drinks in their calorie count.  They have no idea of what they are ingesting when they drink.

Answer 3

People tend not to count liquids when they are counting calories and alcohol is full of them! Not to mention pretty much everything we drink.

Answer 4

MY health teacher told me dat it makes people fat bcause dey cant digest Alcohol

Answer 5

wild guess beer contains yeast and calories?

Answer 6

It's because it's just empty calories, full of sugar. People guzzle it down like it's water, and in reality they're taking in tons of calories without realizing it.

Answer 7

If you mean fat like an older person's beer belly, it isn't really fat. It is caused by the liver becoming enlarged due to abuse.

If you're talking about real fat it's because we sit around on our butts drinking instead of getting exercise.

Munchies for greasy food play a role too. Ever take a close look at Pub Grub?
