If you don’t want to break into your fridge at 2am or stop for a nibble on the way home from the pub, then be careful how much you drink!        ALCOHOL          Regular beer @ 5% 330ml 140 kcals Beer light @ 4.2% 330ml 110 kcals Spirits @ 40% 1 shot 65 kcals Smirnoff ice @ 5% 330ml 225 kcals Bacardi breezer diet lemon 275ml 95 kcals Bottle table wine @ 11.5% 750ml 530 kcals 1 Pint of Guinness 210 kcals 1 Pint of lager 167 kcals 1 Pint of Cider 208 kcals Red wine 170ml 122 kcals Dry white wine 170ml 119 kcals Sparkling white wine 170ml 136 kcals                             top of page                 Keep in mind that research on these matters is on-going and is subject to change.
