Louise White asks listeners if knowing the calories in alcohol would make them drink less.

Louise White asks listeners if knowing the calorie content of alcoholic drinks would make them drink less.

Louise White asks - Would knowing the calories in alcohol make you drink less?

The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) is calling on the drinks industry and newly appointed EU Health Commissioner to introduce calorie labelling for alcoholic drinks. The call follows newly released research from the RSPH which shows strong public backing for the move, and a general lack of awareness among consumers about the calories contained in alcoholic drinks. RSPH's chief executive Shirley Cramer told the BBC '80% of adults have no idea what the calorie count is in anything they're drinking'.
