Yes, it is to some extent but the primary cause of pot belly is when calorie intake exceeds calorie expenditure by a wide margin. When this occurs, the body stores the excess as body-fats. For men the body fats is usually around the abdomen(visceral fats), face, arms and sometimes the buttocks. I so much dread dat stuff called pot belly. E no dey make person clothe fine for body. Moreover having pot belly is very unhealthy.
TEAM TONED ABDOMEN.

The bible says " The only gain a man has from all his numerous labour is the food he eats" therfore I thank God that I have pot belly and my children do play with it during my leisure hour.
Of course , I have not tasted any beer before or any alcholhol. Mine was not formed from beer. But I think lack of adequate physical excercise should be the cause.

My husband had a pot belly and I was disappointed because it gets in the way of our sex. He used to drink German lager I forgot the name and it made his stomach bloated. He did sit ups and detox ed for 2 weeks and now he has a 3 pack abs. grin
I will attribute excessive body weight to excess BODY ACIDITY. And the best remedy is to detoxify the system by taking suffient curative alkaline water and alkaline foods so as to bring the human body within the optimum pH range.

my opinion-jst d way as women grow older, they accumulate fats on der buttocks, upper arms (have u heard of Christian mother's arm?? cheesy), stomach, etc, men also gather excess fats on their stomachs... hence d term pot belly. I will attribute pot belly to either too much consumption of food, or lack of exercise, or mostly both.

about drinking, I know some drunkaholics who are lyk models. I also know some Puritans with large bloated bellies. alcohol may be a culprit in pot belly formation. Bt its just an accessory.



my humble opinion
true talk cool

Best Answer Ever...
you must be a drunk
grin grin

ichidodo:
Alcohol is a high energy stimulant but we all know most drinkers aren't athletes or that kind of sorts,so how do you think the energy is burned off? Simple, the body converts them into glycogen which is then stored in the liver,buttocks,stomach lining even your face....too much drinking,too little physical activity will result into excessive body starch which your overworked liver converts to body fat for onward storage in your face and pot belly.

Drinking doesn't cause pot belly, I drink a lot but my tummy is really flat, starchy foods, late nit food nd excessive meals and inappropriate diet. So drink as u like but don't blame it for ur pot belly, after all u can always work out, I drank today nd tomorrow morning I'm gonna do 50 sit ups before going out.
Cutehector:
Pot belllied men are known to be "chopping" cool money, they are seen as the "enjoyment kings" . But what is the real story behind that pot belly? How did it grow to that massive extent? Is it excessive drinking? Or accumulated fat over a long period of time or just excessive feeding? Whichever the case may be, let"s write out our views concerning this case..

What do you think is the cause of pot belly in men and women?

Pot belly is caused by one thing which is fat and fat is gotten through various ways.
But most of the time the fat is not evenly distributed. It's just in the stomach makes theem look pregnant. Fat men have big floppy tummies and fat all over. I don't get this pot belly thing

But I know a lot of people who drink and still keep flat tummy.
There is this guy that we call Bishop of St Bottles cathedral, he drinks like fish yet his abs is as flat as slate !
And I know some dudes who never tasted a bottle of beer yet their tummy is like someone at 28wks gestation.
Having big or flat tummy, I think there is interplay between environment factors such as life style, eating habits and a genetic component ie it runs in some people with genetic predisposition.

hmmmm... St bottles cathedral. well, my Pope of the cathedral worldwide swims in Star and 33 but has flat tommy.
From my point of view, protruding tommy is basically on FAT some are heredity like me n my brothers while some are eating habits. My elder brother has never taste alcohol in his life but his tommy is like a 9 month pregnancy. I am heavy drinker but did not initially have fat tommy. since I changed job from an energy consuming to very little or no energy consuming job. my tommy starts growing. I don hit d gym ooo. and belle don go down but na alcohol go leave me o.

Ganapathy otherwise known as pot bellies is caused by the following;
1. Excessive consumption of alcohol, alcohol dehydragenase (ADH) the only enzyme that can digest alcohol stays in the Liver, with much consumption of alcohol, the activity of ADH increases which inturn leads to its increase production and consequent FATTY LIVER which will lead to Ganapathy.
2. Alcohol or ethanol digestion generate unconcentrated energy (ATP) and Citrate which can be channel into Lipogenesis-the generation of fat which can be deposited in the liver.
3. Increase activity of alcohol dehydragenase can cause hepapathy (diseases of the liver ) since ADH STAYS ONLY IN THE LIVER all these results in protruding stomach,pop bellies or ganapathy.
