Put calorie content on alcoholic drinks, campaigners urge


Alcohol awareness organisations have called for more information to be put on drink labels (PA)
Alcoholic drinks should have their calorie content on the label, health campaigners say.
The Alcohol Health Alliance and the Alcohol Focus Scotland charity are calling for changes to labelling laws so the calories in drinks are clearly shown.
It follows a YouGov poll that found only a quarter of people surveyed correctly estimated there are between 120 and 359 calories in a pint of lager, while 22% knew there are 67-200 calories in a medium glass of wine.
The law currently requires alcoholic products to show the strength of alcohol (ABV), the volume of the drink and any allergens contained in them. Ingredients, nutritional information and health risks are all optional.
