    Liver disease can do this too. Alcoholics will often get this kind of belly. Any other disorder that fills abdomen with fluid can do it too, though I think that’d generally be an emergency situation.

        No, beer belly is just developing extra layers of fat like normal because drinking beer is like eating bread, it’s full of carbs.

        This is more like a “his abdomen filled with fluid it wasn’t supposed to very rapidly because of organ failure or something”; but that’s not what “beer belly” refers to
