Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
It’s a myth that drinking beer will give you the infamous ‘beer gut’.

Of course, beer does have calories and if you drink huge amounts you will gain weight. However, unless one is
genetically predisposed to abdominal obesity any weight gain from drinking beer won’t necessarily settle around
your middle.

Interesting factoid, Joy. But I'm not much of a beer fan. Bring on the cabernet!

...Uh oh, I can think of worse places for it to settle. Can you imagine having a huge Beer Nose? Or what if it all flowed to your elbows or you had to walk around with big floppy Beer Knees?

Hmmm... and all that time I was going to the gym carrying a 6-pack...

Seriously, I don't drink, and all joking aside, it is an interesting observation..
