Alcohol and Calories
Why Alcohol Calories Add Up
Alcohol has 7 kcal/g — nearly twice as much as carbs or protein. A standard 175ml glass of red wine (13.5% ABV) contains approximately 141 kcal. Two glasses a night = 280+ kcal/day = 2,000 extra calories per week, equivalent to a day's food intake.
UK Unit Guide
One UK alcohol unit = 10ml of pure alcohol. NHS recommends no more than 14 units/week for men or women. A 175ml glass of 13.5% wine = 2.4 units. A pint of 5% beer = 2.8 units. UK guidelines: spread across at least 3 days if drinking 14 units/week.
Lowest Calorie Options
Clear spirits (vodka, gin, white rum) with diet mixers: ~56 kcal per single measure. Light beer: 80–100 kcal per 330ml. Prosecco: ~80 kcal per 125ml glass. Full-sugar cocktails, liqueurs, and dessert wines can reach 300–500 kcal per serving.
