I'm gonna get a wine belly?

Not that I count calories, but I was curious since I've been drinking wine every night recently, so I googled it. I fear about getting a "wine belly". This university website provides a calorie list for all the common alcoholic drinks. Here are some numbers for my drinks of choice:

• 99 calories for 12.0 oz Amstel Light beer
• 70 calories for 4.0 oz red wine (80 cal on another website)
• 180 calories for 8.0 oz gin and tonic (perhaps I'll stick to wine)
• 228 calories for 12.0 oz Smirnoff Ice (not my fave, but look at that cal count! AKA alcopop, interesting word)
• 105 calories for 250 mL coke (they couldn't keep the volumetric units constant, could they?)
• 72 calories for 250 mL unsweetened orange juice (I wonder what if it's sweetened?)

Another tidbit of random info: a college student consumes 4 drinks on average at a party, so those alcopops can add up quick- as much as 1,000 calories in one sitting, which beats getting a Big Mac meal from McD's. Alot of people, including me, grab a bite to eat after hitting the bars, so the calories keep stacking. Eating afterwards helps prevent/reduce hangovers for me. I shudder at the thought at how much I have consumed sometimes. Lately, I've been staying at home to save money, but I guess calories too.

The university website claimed that the infamous "beer belly" does not come so much from the calorie intake itself, but rather the effects of alcohol on the body's metabolism. Hmm... I guess I need to start working out again. Or I can give up wine. Yeah right, as if that was a real option.
