I'd be more inclined to back down if I hadn't personally seen the affect giving up alcohol for a month had on my dad. Nothing else changed in his diet; just he stopped drinking because of a severe case of gout and by the end of it, he had lost some inches quite noticeably. Perhaps I'm limiting it too much with the expression 'beer gut' though; I agree it doesn't just go to the belly; it tends to show in the face and round the neck as well.
