UK Doctors Instruct!!! Alcohol To Be Label With Calorie Contents

Alcohol should and have labels detailing its calorie content, according to the Royal Society for Public Health.
The society's doctors have warned that a large glass of wine can contain the same number of calories as a doughnut - while four pints on a night out is equal to two-and-a-half burgers and will take around 73 minutes of running to burn-off.

The average adult drinker gets around 10% of their calorie intake from alcohol and experiments have found drinkers consume 400 fewer calories during a night at the pub when their drinks display calorie labels.
Any reduction in calorie intake could make a massive difference to waistlines in the UK, which is among the most obese nations in the world.
