    For example a margarita and a cheeseburger have the same amount of calories and a pint of lager has the same amount of calories as a slice of pizza.

    Recent studies found that moderate drinking was not associated with weight gain, but according to Professor Jean-Philippe Chaput of the faculty of medicine at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario moderate drinking itself does not maintain weight but the healthy behaviour associated with it.

    Cultures where alcohol is served at breakfast tend to have a better drinking culture, like Italy, which is why one North Perth small bar owner has applied for a licence to serve alcohol from 7am in the morning.

    He also explained that in Italy, where he comes from, it was common for people to drink grappa and black sambucca with their morning coffees.
