O álcool e as calorias

Artigo interessante com alguma informação das calorias médias de bebidas comuns e a necessidade de inclusão dessa informação nos rótulos para maior consciencialização de quem bebe:

Citando:
"The LGA says calories from alcohol are classed as "empty calories", with no nutritional value, and by drinking alcohol, the amount of fat the body burns for energy is reduced. "
(...)
"It also says a pint of cider at 4.5% has 216 calories and is the equivalent to three-quarters of a burger, while a single spirit at 40% is 61 calories or an eighth of a burger.
Over 24 hours, drinking five pints of beer at 4% strength is the equivalent to eating more than three burgers. A bottle of wine - about four small 175 ml glasses - has the same calorie count as more than two burgers, the association says."
