We estimated calorie intake from alcohol in Canada, overall and by gender, age, and province, and provide evidence to advocate for mandatory alcohol labelling requirements. Annual per capita (aged 15+) alcohol sales data in litres of pure ethanol by beverage type were taken from Statistics Canada's CANSIM database and converted into calories. The apportionment of consumption by gender, age, and province was based on data from the Canadian Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Survey. Estimated energy requirements (EER) were from Canada's Food Guide. The average drinker consumed 250 calories, or 11.2% of their daily EER in the form of alcohol, with men (13.3%) consuming a higher proportion of their EER from alcohol than women (8.2%). Drinkers consumed more than one-tenth of their EER from alcohol in all but one province. By beverage type, beer contributes 52.7% of all calories derived from alcohol, while wine (20.8%); spirits (19.8%); and ciders, coolers, and other alcohol (6.7%) also contribute substantially. The substantial caloric impact of alcoholic drinks in the Canadian diet suggests that the addition of caloric labelling on these drinks is a necessary step.
我们估算了加拿大总体以及按性别、年龄和省份划分的酒精热量摄入量，并提供证据支持强制酒精标签要求。按饮料类型划分的15岁及以上人均年度纯乙醇升数酒精销售数据取自加拿大统计局的CANSIM数据库，并换算成卡路里。按性别、年龄和省份划分的消费量分配基于加拿大烟草、酒精和药物调查的数据。估计能量需求（EER）来自加拿大食物指南。普通饮酒者摄入250卡路里，占其每日EER的11.2%，男性（13.3%）从酒精中摄入的EER比例高于女性（8.2%）。除一个省份外，所有省份的饮酒者从酒精中摄入的热量均超过其EER的十分之一。按饮料类型划分，啤酒贡献了酒精总热量的52.7%，而葡萄酒（20.8%）、烈酒（19.8%）以及苹果酒、清凉饮料和其他酒类（6.7%）也有很大贡献。酒精饮料在加拿大饮食中产生的巨大热量影响表明，在这些饮料上添加热量标签是必要的一步。
