Study shows beer drinking leads to big belly
By Craig Lang
Kansan staff writer
A study conducted on 15,800 Black and white men and women showed that beer tended to build a potbelly. Nevertheless, many KU students said that they would not stop bellying up to the bar.
Hold on to your koozies, kids. Research has proven that one of the causes of the beer belly is — gasp! — beer.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina, the University of Minnesota and Johns Hopkins University, appeared last week in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Myra Carpenter, coauthor of the study and statistician at the biostatistics coordinating center at North Carolina, said the study was part of a larger national investigation of risk factors leading to heart disease. She said researchers have been studying the subjects and their drinking habits since 1987.
Neil Dennis, Edmond, Okla., freshman, said that he always had thought beer drinking had a negative effect on the waistline, but that never discouraged him from drinking.
"I've always known that if you drink, you'll gain weight," he said. "But it's somewhat worth it."
Matt McClure, Lecompton sophomore, said he thought having a beer belly was avoidable if the beer
"They do start getting flabby around the middle," he said. "But I also notice that they don't do much physical activity."
drinker exercised. He said he drank beer but did not have a beer belly because he worked out.
McClure said he had noticed that some of his friends who drank beer were carrying spare tires.
Chris Bryant, Topeka senior, said he had noticed that even beer drinkers who work out can develop the "donelap disease," in which your belly has "done lapped" over your belt.
"I see a lot of guys I went to high school with," he said. "They work out a lot, do exercises. They're in great shape, but they've got beer
The study also proved that wine affects the drinker's stomach differently than beer. Carpenter said wine, although still fattening, thinned the waistline and spread the fat elsewhere.
Carpenter said the authors of the study were still not sure why this occurred. She said researchers hoped that they would determine whether it was the wine or the lifestyle of wine drinkers that had this effect.
guts."
"That's one of the large outstanding questions," Carpenter said. "Is it the drink or drinker? People who drink wine may have other preferences that give them a healthier profile."
Give 'em a brake: Students risk accidents hurrying home
By Tara Trenary
Kansan staff writer
The holidays are near, and many students want to get home as quickly as possible.
But getting home fast could be more dangerous than some students realize.
Kansas state trooper John Eichlom said that the problem with college students was that many stayed up late and studied, went to class or took a final and then hit the road in very poor condition.
"Students are excited and want to go home," he said. "But it's not the
best idea."
Melissa Miller, Sioux Falls, S.D. senior, said that there was danger in her six-hour-drive home because every year during winter vacation there had been a storm.
"I've gone into the ditch a few times," she said. "I have a car phone with me now so I can call for help."
Lonnie McColum, superintendent of the Kansas Highway Patrol, said that motorists should make sure that they were well-rested and that their vehicles were in good mechanical condition before starting a trip.
Once on the road, there are many obstacles that students should
watch for.
Kim Athon, information specialist for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said that there were several work zones across the state that students needed to look out for, and that fines for violations in work zones were doubled.
"We're not looking to hurt people's wallets; we're looking to make people drive slower." Athon said.
Athon said that students needed to watch for any wildlife that may jump onto the road.
And winter storms are also likely at this time of year.
"Some of the worst winter storms
take place over the holidays," Athon said.
She said that students should stock their cars with winter supplies such as blankets, flashlights and emergency signs, which students can get at the local law enforcement agency, and kitty litter for traction.
Major David Hornbaker, Kansas highway patrolman, said a good way to prevent a disaster on the roadway was to call 1-800-585-ROAD before making a trip to get information about construction areas and weather conditions in Kansas.
