Some surprising facts from the Colonel
Wine and weight gain
If someone drinks three glasses of wine a night will she gain weight? Are any particular types of wine lower in sugar and less likely to cause weight gain?
Not only does wine itself contain calories, but most people also snack on foods higher in fat when drinking wine. Those snacks may also contribute to weight gain. Alcohol does tend to increase appetite, so you may find yourself drinking wine and eating more than you had intended.
Health experts recommend that women drink no more than two to three units of alcohol and men no more than three or four units a day. One unit of alcohol is equivalent to: One single pub measure of spirit, one small glass of wine, one- quarter pint of strong lager, one-half pint of ordinary strength lager or 2 pints of low alcohol lager, beer or cider.
