NHS officials have issued some strong guidance over alcohol consumption to anyone looking to lose weight. Drinking just one standard glass of wine can reduce your chances of slimming down.
The advice also states that drinking one beer five days a week is “equivalent to eating 221 doughnuts” a year, or that that drinking one pint of lager is the same as tucking into a packet of crisps, the Daily Record reports.
With many unaware just how calorie-filled their favourite drink is, the NHS has compared alcoholic beverages with sugary and fatty treats to show the food equivalent of the calories you’re consuming. For example, the NHS states that drinking four bottles of wine each month is the same as eating 48 Big Macs per year.
