calories in alcoholic beverages
Both red and white wines are equally calorific. A 175ml glass of red or white wine can contain up to 160 calories, while champagne in a 125ml glass contains 89 calories and would take nine minutes of running to burn off. A pint of lager can contain up to 180 calories, roughly the same as a slice of pizza. Drinking five pints of lager a week adds up to over 44,200 extra kilo calories a year, according to the NHS. For men, a five per cent pint of beer contains 215 calories, which is 8.6 per cent of the recommended daily calorie intake.
