It certainly can

Mind your calorie intake and you should be fine, a single 8 oz beer is 102 Calories*. Not too bad on its own, but combine a number of beers and it really adds up. 3500 calories are a pound of fat* so about 35 beers will give you a pound . . .

Lots of people will have more then one beer in a sitting and lots will often snack while drinking beer, this will really pack on the pounds if you make a habbit of it.

Yes, I've read that most of the 'pot belly' comes from the 'snacking' and less from the beer itself.

Eveyone I know that drinks a lot of beer has a big pot belly. Even the light beer drinkers. Is it a coincidence? I don't think so. Oh course, some of it might be attributed to the general bloating that occurs from drinking fizzy beverages in general.

If you regularly exercise you can be trim. I am a ex-service man, and at the age of 65 i have flat belly eventhough i drink two beers, alternative days. (drinking for the past 30 years!)
