Beer bellies are (sort of) a myth.
found that moderate drinking is not associated with weight gain in cohort studies and that randomized-control studies of the question, though mixed, suggest “that moderate intake of alcohol does not lead to weight gain over short follow-up periods.”
One gram of alcohol contains 7.1 calories, and commonly consumed drinks can range from about 100 to 200-plus calories. However, despite your average drink’s seemingly significant calorie count, these beverages don’t contribute to weight gain as much as calorie-counting math suggests they should. The reasons for this are not fully understood.
The results were not clear-cut. Looking at data from the end of the first year, researchers found no association between weight and drinking—even among those in the intensive intervention group who reported heavy drinking. But zooming out to year four, there was adrinking in this group. Participants who did not drink lost 5.1 percent of their initial weight on average, which was 2.7 percent more weight than consistent drinkers lost, and 1.
Interestingly, that small weight difference might be due to factors other than the actual calories in alcohol. The authors of the 2017 study also tried to control for variables beyond alcohol consumption that may have played a role. They found that changes in drinking were associated with changes in time spent watching TV, and that as people drank, they also consumed more calories from other sources.
