Does beer let you gain weight?

I wanted to ask this question because of this week's EAVESDROPING lesson BEER. I know beer is the most favorite drink in the USA and in many other countries too. It is now gradually so popular in China as well. When guys with big tummy, we often say, you have drunk too much beer. Is it true the beer will let you gain weight? maybe it is a silly question, huh…anyway, it is for English practice…BOTTOM UP, GUYS. LOL.

hey…..

well i think beer let u lose BRAIN and LIFE lol….... im serious it's really disgusting drink…. i don't know how do people accept losing their mnds and dignitiy … well im really happy that i live in a society where we look down to those who drink it ..

good luck

yes beer lets you gain weight .. thats why ppl say that guys who drink beer have beer belly's .. it means they are fat of drinking beer .. though if you wanna know more google it up

i agree well.losing weight is difficult ,but ,drinking more beer is easy fat,hah,sometimes order to keep your healthy,pls,drinkg a little,....

I have no idea whether beer has any influence on the belly size..:) But if to drink it much, it can, I am sure. Btw, drinking beer can be very healthy, if to drink it just a glass per a day. This is according to so popular Mediterranian diet.

Be happy and healthy! :)

That is something that is unique to China – iced beer. Americans drink beer that is chilled in a refrigerator, but you'd never find someone add ice to make it cold. In China, you do this, though. I was in a restaurant and ordered a beer, it came warm. When I asked to have a cold one, they brought me a glass of ice! I think some places in Europe they drink beer warm.

Beer will make you fat. At least it will bloat you, This is because of the sodium which causes you to retain fluids.  

Huh, when I read Mikel's response, I just realized that I made a mistake by using ICED BEER…actually I was trying to say chilled beer, not really to add ice to make it cold. Do not take it as a common thing in China, lol.

Mikel, thanks for the reminder!
