Beer bellies are caused by the sugar component in beer.<br />
This component can be burned off easily, however it is usually stored as fat in the walls of the abdomen.<br />
I personally drink quite a bit of beer and I’ve found myself developing quite a good sized "beer-pot" as it is called down here.<br />
The summer here will cure that here though, I always tend to burn the fat off just in time for winter, just to put it all back on again.<br />
Just as a note, there is NO diet that will get rid of this, you have to take the fat off by exercise.<br />
Hope I haven’t disappointed anyone here.
