Britain attacks drinkers, calls them "Fatties"

Here is the latest story from Britain to try and convince their citizens that "alcohol is baaaaddd" (to paraphrase Mr. Mackey from South Park). What's interesting is that (1) they need to use annual figures to make the amounts sound bad and (2) they throw in stuff about how drinking leads to bad eating habits since the calorie numbers are not as bad as the headlines make them out to be. The key statistics are probably these,

a glass of white wine had the same calories as a bag of crisps - and ... a pint of lager had as many calories as a sausage roll.


So which is better, drinking a glass of wine or eating a bag of chips (crisps)?
