Alcohol can add up the calories

MANY people are unaware of the caloriecontent of alcohol, according to a major British survey.

Four in 10 of those surveyed did not know that a glass of wine has the same calories as a slice of cake or that a pint of beer has the same amount of calories as a sausage roll.

The survey was carried out on 2,000 adults in England as part of the British government’s campaign to curb people’s excessive drinking habits.
