BEER???

Bud light is 110kcals. I have it sometimes. Sam Adames Boston Ale has 160kcals, apparently. If you're having just one, the calorie difference is pretty small.

Now that I'm older and wiser, I don't bother with light beer. But honestly, when I was drinking light beer, I found Milwaukee's Best Lite to be wayyyy better than some of the more well-known light beers, which I think I saw mentioned above somewhere. That said, I'd rather have one bottle of the good stuff (I prefer dark beer generally anyway) than three cheap ones. Which, according to the more informed posters above me, it sounds like if you're actually looking to get drunk on low calorie beer, you're pretty much wasting your money and mostly drinking water.

I'm going to repeat my rule of thumb here.

For most beers, you can get a pretty good estimate of calories using this formula:

kcal = 2.5 * (fluid oz) * (abv%)

For example, a 12 ounce our of a 7% abv IPA would be 2.5 * 12* 7 = 210 kcal.
