If you think you are overweight, go and get properly weighed by a nurse or doctor, then seek medical advice about getting your weight down.
There are many other sites if you want to talk about diets and calories. I just don't want to see obsessive calorie-counting being encouraged in this particular health forum.
I know there are people here with eating disorders and I accept the need to be cautious when giving out dieting tips.
But for heaven's sake - that girl was asking how many calories were in an alcopop. It's not that bad surely? She wasn't asking the quickest way to lose weight. And I personally think that calorie counting is a valid diet choice when used as part of a balanced diet.

seriously though exercise and less fat intake is the key to losing weight...making yourself sick and having an empty stomach just slows down the metabolism
