A study by UCL researchers found that over half of heavier drinkers in England would make changes to their drinking habits if calorie labels for alcohol were introduced. Specifically, 54% of hazardous drinkers said they would change their habits if calorie labels were mandatory. The study also found that hazardous drinkers were more likely to accurately estimate the calorie content of alcoholic drinks compared to low-risk drinkers or non-drinkers. The researchers suggested that calorie labeling could help target higher-risk drinkers who consume a significant portion of their daily calories from alcohol, potentially contributing to weight management.
