Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram — more than protein or carbohydrates (4 cal/g each) and almost as much as fat (9 cal/g). These "empty calories" provide no nutritional value.
A bottle of wine contains around 600 calories. A pint of 5% beer is ~215 calories. These are easy to underestimate because calories aren't prominently displayed on alcohol labels.
The NHS recommends no more than 14 units per week, spread over at least 3 days, with several alcohol-free days each week.
