According to Keith Cormican, a UK-based registered dietitian, "drinking moderate to high intakes of alcohol can affect body fat distribution because when the body is fed alcohol and fat, it will get rid of the alcohol first by using it as the preferred source of energy." Cormican added, "drinking alcohol stops fat metabolism in the liver causing it to build up especially around the abs." Stick to a couple drinks a week if you're trying to lose belly fat, or none at all would be even better!
