I have a few of these and wear them when it's hot out because they keep me much cooler than a swampy cotton undershirt when I start to sweat. I'm not sure if they actually compress my beer handles (there's really not that much there anyway) but I have noticed that the tight fit makes me more conscious of how I'm holding myself and consequently, I keep my abs tighter and my posture better when wearing them. Re: that, it's not just vanity, I have pretty nasty back problems so maintaining good posture is important, but I do forget and slouch sometimes.
