25% Drink 16% Calories Via Alcohol Daily.

12/07/2012

About 25% of you drink alcohol every day -- given the normal non-weight loss surgical population according to a new CDC study. And about 16% of your daily calories come from alcohol.

PS. Give this study to bariatric patients -- I would say from my very non-professional standpoint that results would be higher vs. calorie intake given our higher rates of addictions to All The Things.

That is some scary daily nutrition math.

Cheers.

CDC -

The U.S. population consumes an average of 100 calories a day from alcoholic beverages. Men, 150 calories; women, 53.

âIf you are drinking an extra 150 calories more than you need a day, those extra calories could end up on your waist or your hips,â said Joan Salge Blake, a clinical associate professor in the nutrition program at Boston University and a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. âThose excess daily calories could cause you to put on a pound monthly and would add up to over 10 pounds in a year,â Blake said.

Specifically for a gastric bypass patient -- it can lead to all sorts of damage. Play in the Google.
