If you hesitate in a restaurant between starter or pudding, you may need to consider as well your glass of wine…
Sugar tax on soft drinks is a great initiative to tackle childhood obesity, but do adults know the sugar content of their alcoholic drinks?
Adults in Europe get more of their calories from alcohol than from soft drinks; if we want to reduce obesity should consumers not be aware of the calories content of their drinks?
Did you know that?
• 1 pint of beer contains 180 Kcal, the same as a slice of pizza
• 1 large glass of wine contains 200 Kcal, the same as a doughnut
or 4 mini sausage rolls
• 1 vodka tonic contains 120 Kcal
• Alcopop contains 140 Kcal
