A joint BDA (British Dietetic Association) and Alcohol Concern Cymru briefing paper on Alcohol and Calories has been released.

The briefing paper states 'Amongst adults who drink, alcohol accounts for nearly 10% of their calorie intake, yet many people have little idea how many calories they are consuming in the form of alcoholic drinks.
