News: "Alcohol calories 'too often ignored' "

According to the World Cancer Research Fund, alcohol makes up nearly 10% of total calorie intake among drinkers.These calories are "empty", that means that they aren't nutritional; this fact is often forgotten by dieters. Containing 7kcal/g, alcohol is only slightly less calorific than fat, which contains 9kcal/g. Cutting down drinking can be a really good way to keep healthy, say the experts. It can also reduce your cancer risk.

Well, this fact doesn't affect me, since I didn't drink alcoholic drinks, but it's good to know that can "help you" getting fat. It's always advised that drink alcohol can be perjudicial and people often forget it. I'm not against of drinking a reasonable measure of wine or beer sometimes, but with caution.
