Beer belly is top pre-holiday worry for men Those taking part were asked "What things, concerning your holiday, did you worry about before last heading abroad, if any?" - 51 per cent answered "getting rid of beer belly." "Looking good on holiday is not just a concern of women, but I have to say I didn't expect this to be the top concern of men when it comes to pre-holiday preparation," said Steph Curtin from the website Bonvoyage.co.uk, which carried out the survey. Other pre-travel concerns were "getting ahead at work" (cited by 41 per cent of respondents), "weather abroad" (40 per cent), "Leaving pets at home" (36 per cent), "Putting on weight on holiday" (27 per cent), "Getting on with kids/family when abroad" (24 per cent), "Getting passport/visa ready" (18 per cent), and "Keeping kids entertained abroad" (14 per cent).
