Experiencing flatulence on a regular basis can be both embarrassing and painful.

When it comes to fizzy alcoholic drinks, hard apple cider isn't the lowest-calorie choice. Hard apple cider varies in calories, depending upon the brand, with many of these ciders containing between 140 and 210 calories in each 12-ounce bottle. In comparison, a 12-ounce bottle of regular beer has about 145 calories, and the same amount of stout has about 190 calories.

A 175ml glass of red or white wine can contain up to 160 calories, while champagne in a 125ml glass contains 89 calories and would take nine minutes of running to burn off.

For men, a five per cent pint of beer contains 215 calories, which is 8.6 per cent of the recommended daily calorie intake.
