The Daily tellegraph reports that Average wine drinker puts on half a stone of fat a year, says campaign group

Now let me see - I became an average wine drinker about 40 years ago. So,
40 multiplied by 7 pounds, equals 280 lb or 20 stone or 127 kilograms of fat that they reckon I've added to my weight since then. Now, if I weighed say,
13.5 stone or around 85kg 40 years ago, according to the report I should now weigh approx 33.5 stone or 212 kg.
Actually I now weigh around 94 kg (I'm starting to get confused with all this calculating - where's the wine bottle?)
Doesn't sound right to me.
Cheers!
