There is no such thing as a "beer belly", according to scientists.
Researchers in Britain and the Czech Republic surveyed almost 2,000 Czechs, who are generally regarded as the world's biggest beer drinkers.

They found no link between the amount of beer they drink and the size of their stomachs.

Writing in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, they said claims people are obese because they drink too much beer are wrong.

Beer drinkers

Dr Martin Bobak from University College London and colleagues at the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Prague questioned 891 Czech men and 1,098 women between the ages of 25 and 64 as part of their study.

The Czechs traditionally top world league tables on beer drinking, consuming more beer per person than people in any other country.

All of those questioned as part of the study were selected at random and drank either no alcohol at all or only beer.

This is excellent news......

Not so good Snuff, now you need another excuse.

Ah, Sarky, it's all genetic... yeah, genetic.

First we hear that beer might actually be good for you. Now we hear that beer does not contribute to "beer guts". My question is this:

Why in the h*ll would you not drink beer? You're just killing yourself if ya don't!

God, what a wonderful time to be alive!

Ahhh ha....

The next thing they need to research is that Buffalo Wings actually reduce one's cholesteral (sp?). Then, I will indeed be in heaven!

Instead of ranch sauce, eat Cheerios with them

I always thought beer was the reason my 6pack looked more like a 12pack!
