Ok, Folks, I'm a brewer so here's my input:

First a few misconceptions:
1) Corona has gluten. Any beer with barley or wheat has gluten. Only sorghum beers like Anheuser-Busch's Redbridge or or craft brews made without wheat or barley are truly gluten free. While it is true that light beers will have less - they have less of EVERYTHING - if you truly have gluten allergies you don't have many choices.

2) Beer is not high in sodium. With the exception of a few niche styles that are hard to find, beer is not a salty beverage by any normal definition of the term.

As for the original question, it's hard to get away from calories when you talk alcohol because the alcohol itself has 7 Cal/gram. Almost anything else you add in the way of flavor or texture is going to increase that further. So like others have said, spirits are your best choice. A Manhattan with two shots of whisky and one of vermouth has less than 200 Calories, but with a significant slug of ethanol. Any spirit with diet mixers is good, but be careful of tonic water - it's quite high in calories.

If you want beer (and who doesn't?) stay way from the 55's and the 64's and such because as you've realized they are just a scam. We used to say that light beers were the best idea the breweries ever had because they got to use half the ingredients and sell it at the same price as regular beer. These new ultra-light beers have taken that a step further as they are literally adding carbonated water to stronger finished beers to get that 64 or 55 calorie number on the label . It's a huge cash cow for the macro breweries and you don't gain anything but more trips to the bathroom by drinking two 55's vs a single "regular" beer. Seyserf's efficient drinker website is a good resource, but it doesn't take cost into account, just calories and alcohol. My personal favorite by far is Mich Ultra Amber because it has some taste and is still pretty calorie and cost efficient.

If you don't have the list in front of you, the general rule is the dryer the beer, the lower calorie it will be. The more mouthfeel/thickness/body the beer has, the higher calories. Color isn't very meaningful; it CAN be an indicator, but there are so many exceptions as to make any rule useless. Descriptions that talk about "caramel malts" tend to be higher than those that talk about "roasted malts" or "kilned malts."

And if you're into more "interesting" beers, some of the great big beers packed with taste can be pretty efficient, too. Belgians tend to be very, very dry as a rule, and stouts generally aren't too bad. In those cases, though, you have to treat it like a dessert and have the calorie budget to handle 300+ calories that day (realizing that there can be 3+ "beers" worth of alcohol in that one bottle) and you have to have the willpower to STOP at that one bottle...

If anybody has any specific questions, I'll be glad to answer them.

Edit: I didn't notice how old this original post was. :blushing:

Unfortunately, the caloric content of beer is a function of the original amount of sugars, and the final amount of sugars plus alcohol after fermentation. The more fermentable sugars in a wort (aka unfermented beer, pronounced "wert"), the higher your alcohol content and calorie content. It's a necessary evil

definitely not the o'douls...:drinker: if you drink beer, forget the cals and just enjoy :drinker:
