That’s right ladies! In fact, more and more women are experiencing what is now labeled the…”beer belly woman” or for a better name…” glass figure”  named really because increase bellies in women are often as a result of increased consumption of wine when out socializing and entertaining.  

The plain truth behind both is that there is some TRUTH and some MYTH behind those terms.

[...Both are simply associated with , colloquially known as belly fat or clinically as central , is the accumulation of visceral fat resulting in an increase in waist size.  Several used to refer to , and to people who have it, refer to beer or .   However, there is little scientific evidence that beer drinkers are more prone to abdominal obesity, despite it being known colloquially as “beer belly”, “beer gut”, or “beer pot”.  One of the few studies conducted on the subject did not find that beer drinkers are more prone to abdominal obesity than nondrinkers or drinkers of wine or spirits.” ] -Wikipedia

Binge- gives women more chance of a beer belly than steady consumption.

All women know by now they should avoid high-calorie drinks, like fancy cocktails, especially if they go out with their friends on a regular basis. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean that plain alcohol, like wine, is inoffensive if ingested in large quantities, neither as regards health nor weight. A new study cited by the Daily Mail reveals that women are most exposed to the risk of gaining weight more so from rather than just from drinking alcohol alone.

Here’s why…The weight gain, however, has little to do with the type of alcoholic beverage of choice or the period of time over which a woman binge drinks, the findings of the study indicate. It’s the pattern that leads to the extra pounds in the sense that the same amount of alcohol consumed over short periods of time (say, an entire bottle of wine in the course of a single evening) helps the stomach expand.  [key detail--->]This, in turn, leads to feeling the need to eat more, which, of course, is translated in weight gain, researchers at the University College London say.

For the first time, researchers believe they have identified the link between drinking and abdominal obesity, which helps trigger diabetes and heart disease.  They blame it on the pattern of drinking, when large amounts of alcohol are consumed in a session instead of being spread over a period of time. In fact, the classic beer belly is a bit of a myth because men who drink beer regularly – around two pints a day – barely see a change in their girth.” the Mail says, citing the study that involved an estimated 30,000 people and span from 2002 to 2005.

In men who binge drink, the increase in size is just a few  inches in the waist. Women, on the other hand, are more prone to gaining more pounds if they indulge in too much alcohol; roughly 4-6 inches in waist.   It's not the volume that leads to the weight gain, but the pattern.
