People watching their weight should pay close attention to how much alcohol they drink since it is second only to fat in terms of calorie content, say experts.
According to the World Cancer Research Fund, alcohol makes up nearly 10% of total calorie intake among drinkers.
Having a large glass of wine will cost you the same 178 calories as eating two chocolate digestive biscuits.
And it will take you more than a half hour's brisk walk to burn off.
