If you add up the average consumption of alcohol for an American in a year, the difference between 100 calories per unit and 145 calories per unit amounts to something like an additional 45-60 minutes of exercise per week to offset. There’s a lot of variables there, so it could potentially be more or less, but it’s non-trivial.
