beerbelly

Drinker's protruding midsection

A beerbelly is a protruding stomach, especially on a man, attributed to heavy beer drinking over time.

The term implies the belly's owner has consumed many beers: He's developed quite a beerbelly since college.

Whether beer specifically causes abdominal fat more than other calories is debatable, but the association persists.

Also spelled beer belly.
