Alcohol & Calories

Amongst adults who drink, alcohol accounts on average for nearly 10% of their calorie intake, but a survey by Alcohol Concern of 1,000 drinkers in Wales found that of those who said they usually kept track of the number of calories they consumed, 43% did not include calories from alcohol as part of this.  You're only fooling yourself if you do this. A large glass of wine or a pint of beer or a pint of lager has around 185 calories.
