Binge Drinking Leads To Bigger BellyDear Reader,
Contrary to the name the protruding belly has been given, beer drinkers are no more likely to have a big belly than those who drink wine or hard liquor are.
Drinking at least 80 grams of alcohol at one time, at least once a month, shows up in a half-inch bigger waistline than those who drink that same amount over a week according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology.
It seems that your waist size isn't linked so much to how much alcohol your drink, but how much you drink at one time, often referred to as binge drinking
You get 80 grams of alcohol from...
- A bottle of wine, about 70 grams
- A six pack of beer, 84 grams
- Six 1.5-ounce shots of 80-proof hard liquor, 84 grams
The research, involving 28,594 middle-aged men and women and led by Martin Bobak of the University College London, didn't find a link between drinking and a man's body weight, though there was a small effect on a woman's weight.
What's more, binge drinkers didn't weigh more than those who didn't binge, they just had more fat in the belly area.
Surprisingly, it's not just college students who binge drink - 70% of binge drinking happens in those over 25 years old. Binge drinking is defined as heavy consumption of alcohol over a short time.
Think binge eating only with alcohol in place of the junk food. A man drinking 5 of more drinks in a row; or a woman drinking 4 or more drinks in a row within a two hour period at any time in the last 2 weeks is considered to be binge drinking. Heavy binge drinking includes three or more such episodes in a 14-day period.
Men are twice as likely to be binge drinkers as women.
If beer is your thing, you might check out online sources that give you the percent of alcohol and calories in over 200 well-known beers. There are similar sites for wine and spirits as well.

Binge Drinking Leads To Bigger Belly Continued...
If you're wondering about your own waist size, taking a simple measurement can tell you where you stand (if your eyes and belt size can't). Put a tape measure around your bare belly, just above the hipbone and position the tape measure until it fits snugly bout your waist without pushing into the skin. Make sure the tape measure is level all around and relax as you take the measurement. Remember no sucking in!
Fat in the belly is worrisome to doctors and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, not to mention making you look and feel bad. What can you do?
This type of fat is harder to lose, but it can be done. Forget the quick fixes, stick to a diet that's full of unprocessed, natural foods and get enough regular exercise.
Besides exercise and eating right, you can also pay more attention to the alcohol content in what you're drinking and stop drinking after a few, not a few too many.
To your good health,

P.S: Nike...Ebay...Amazon and Walmart pay for your opinion
Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their products.
But how do they know what we want to buy? Easy they pay to find out the products we like, where we shop and what we buy.
In a nutshell big businesses need people to tell them what products to make.
People like Michelle McAllister - a 34 year old full-time mother of two. Michelle and many others help "big business" make millions, although they haven't got any marketing or sales experience.
In fact Michelle knows absolutely nothing about business, but she does know what she likes...
And that's exactly the information these companies are after and will pay you for.
