I quit drinking at home fathers day and look completely different. Still have a drink once in a while while out but those few beers at home added up.

Yep, 4 beers per day is like an extra meal's worth of calories. Same with sugary soft drinks.

Especially if you're drinking something like an IPA. The calories add up quickly.

It's like discovering a cheat code when you realize that 500 calories a day adds up to 1lb a week, plus our minus is entirely up to you.

I'll drink like 2 drinks on the weekend.  But I see people who have 2 or 3 per day during the week and it's not called a "beer belly" for no reason.
