Call for calorie labels on alcohol to combat obesity

Health experts say alcohol should be labelled to show its calorie content.

The Royal Society for Public Health said 80% of adults questioned did not know a large glass of wine contains a similar number of calories to a doughnut.

The UK is one of the most obese nations in the world with about a quarter of adults classed as obese.

The drinks industry said it was open to the idea of calorie labels, but that labelling drinks with units of alcohol was more important.
