NORWALK -- Diageo, the world's largest drinks company, is taking its commitment to give consumers greater transparency about the nutritional value of its products even further.

Through its responsible drinking website, Diageo has significantly enhanced the nutrition, calorie and alcohol content information available about all its brands. The information includes a breakdown of calories, carbohydrates and protein as well as, for the first time, detailing saturated fat, sugar, caffeine and sodium content.

"As people become more and more interested in their diet and lifestyle choices, we need to play our part," Carolyn Panzer, Alcohol in Society Director, Diageo said. "We know that consumers want nutritional information about what they drink -- just as they do with the foods they eat; they also want a clear and easy way to know how much alcohol they are drinking. We believe passionately in helping people to understand what's in their drink and to make informed choices about drinking or not drinking. Alcohol is alcohol. There is no drink of moderation -- only a practice of moderation."

The revamped includes tools such as the "Drinks Calculator," to help people calculate and track their alcohol and calorie intake. It also provides responsible drinking tips and advice on how food, age, size and gender affects how the body processes alcohol.

Diageo reveals the nutrition value of its products on a voluntary basis. In October 2015, Diageo became the first company to include nutrition labels on an alcoholic product: Crown Royal.

The new also dispels common myths about alcohol consumption, such as:

•"Spirits contain more alcohol than beer and wine." In fact 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits contains 0.6 ounces of alcohol, the same amount of alcohol as in a 12-ounce glass of regular beer. Spirits also have fewer calories than wine or beer -- 1.5 ounce of distilled spirits has approximately 96 calories, compared to 125 calories in an average 5-ounce glass of wine or around 153 calories in a 12-ounce glass of regular beer.

•"Eating food means I can drink more." Diageo says eating food slows down how quickly alcohol is absorbed -- it does not prevent it from having an effect on the body.

•"Drinking coffee sobers people up faster." Coffee might make people feel more awake, but the alcohol still remains in the body and takes about one hour per one drink to process.

The new website has been praised by the CEO of Shape Up America!, a nonprofit organization that raises awareness of obesity and healthy weight management.

"Anyone looking to watch their weight will find the reinvigorated DRINKiQ site helpful for tracking calories and other important facts about alcohol," Barbara J. Moore, President and CEO of Shape Up America!, said: "We applaud Diageo for its commitment to greater transparency and for providing consumers with essential nutrient, calorie and alcohol information about their drinks. The new site is engaging, as well as helpful to people seeking to make informed choices for a balanced lifestyle."

The new is mobile-friendly and available in 24 countries and 12 languages.
