    Sounds about right. According to the Budweiser website 12 oz is 145 cals and 11 g carbs.

    Looks like your right. My Google search brought up regular Bud, not Bud light. Didn't catch that on my phone.

    Yes did a Google search on it last night and bud light is 3g carb per 100ml so it's about right.
