Joking around about gas prices versus beer prices, I wondered how
many of the calories in beer came from the alcohol versus the sugars, and whether
that varies a bunch or not. Courtesy of beer 100,
we have the following ranking of calories per percentage alcohol content:

Awesome. As a long time beer drinker, I have, from time to time, looked up calories/% of alcohol for various beers that I was into at any given time. I am struck that Michelob Ultra, isn't that much lower in carbs/calories than Miller Lite. I love the high calorie/carb craft beers (which aren't on that list), but when I am watching my calorie intake, I will often switch to Miller Lite. I see now that is probably a good choice. -- Nathan
You know, thinking this over... I should order Everclear on the rocks next time. ;) -- Patrick.
