Calories in Alcohol - Why Alcohol Can Affect Your Weight
Ever wondered how many calories are in your favourite alcoholic drinks? We have matched the calorie content of alcoholic drinks with a fatty food equivalent and uncovered some shocking results.
Surprisingly, many people would not be able to tell you how many calories are in their drinks, and recent NHS research certainly surprised many by highlighting that alcoholic drinks often contain as many calories as an unhealthy meal.
Below are some of the more surprising calorie comparisons.
Beer & cider
The average beer drinker consumes five pints of medium strength lager a week, which mounts up to around 44,200 calories a year - the equivalent of 221 doughnuts.
One pint of strong lager = 330 calories. Same as a four ounce fillet steak.
One pint of average strength lager = 200 calories. Same as one packet of crisps.
One pint of premium lager = 250 calories. Same as a small chocolate bar.
One pint of cider = 200 calories. Same as one fried chicken drumstick.
Wine
If they don't work off the calories from their wine, the average wine drinker will put on half a stone per year.
The average wine drinker now consumes 2,000 extra calories a month - the equivalent of 10 bags of crisps
Large glass of medium strength dry white wine = 190 calories. Same as two and a half digestive biscuits.
Bottle of medium strength dry white wine = 570 calories. Same as chicken with cashew nuts and egg fried rice.
A bottle of average strength red wine = 644 calories. Same as 14 Jaffa cakes or McDonald's cheeseburger and medium fries.
Half a bottle of average strength red wine = 313 calories. Same as a Snickers chocolate bar.
Spirits
One shot (25ml) of vodka or gin = 55 calories. Same as a 25ml serving of single cream
Large Bailey's (100ml) = 320 calories. Same as a Snickers Bar.
Baring in mind that these comparisons only factor in one alcoholic drink, adding up a total at the end of an evening could leave you clocking up as many calories as a multi-pack of chocolate bars or crisps.
Snack attack
Snacking on crisps while you're out drinking to tide you over till you get home is all too tempting, and combining this with a drink puts you well on your way to 500 calories - a fifth of the 2500 recommended daily calorie intake for men, and a quarter of a woman's. After a couple more drinks and maybe a take away on the home, you're way over the recommended calorie intake.
Burn baby, burn
If you're starting to feel like you can never drink again without worrying about the calorie content of your drinks, there is a solution. Preparing your body for the night ahead by exercising will help burn up some of the extra calories you are about to consume - even if it's just a power walk to the pub. Failing that, a good exercise session the next day can really help.
In the bag
Planning ahead a little can help prevent you reaching for the pork scratchings. Try packing a few healthy snacks in your bag beforehand. No doubt you'll find yourself chatting outside the pub at some point, which gives you the perfect opportunity to have a nibble.
It's what's on the inside that counts
Alcohol and calories have been dominating the news stories recently, which highlights that it's high on people's list of concerns when they think about the effects of alcohol.
With this being at the forefront of people's minds when they order a drink, there is a danger that more harmful effects of alcohol, such as damaging organs like the heart and liver may be pushed aside. Stay informed of the effect of alcohol by visiting our health facts area.
