What is a unit of alcohol and how many calories in a glass of wine?
What is a unit of alcohol and how many calories in a glass of wine?Did you know that one large glass of red wine (250ml) is 3 units of alcohol and 170 calories so when you go out for the evening and are the designated driver you might be over the limit.
Whether you are driving or not, there are hidden dangers in alcohol. If you are following a healthy eating programme, you could be sabotaging your efforts with what you put in your glass.

Large glass of red wine 12.5% 250ml 170 3

So what do you chose. My advice would be red wine because at leasst it's full of antioxidants. Before you go out, decide how many glasses you will have and stick to the plan. That way you won't feel guilty that you've indulged because you made a plan and stuck to it. If you want more info on alcohol go to www.drinkaware.co.uk.
