Calories in beer


The term beer belly is true. Drinking beer can added on the pounds.

Here are some calorie counts for 12 ounces of different beers:
•Sierra Nevada Pale Ale: 175
•Sam Adams Lager: 160
•Pilsner Urquell: 160
•Michelob: 155
•Guinness: 153
•Heineken: 150
•Corona: 148
•Budweiser: 145
•MGD: 143
•Stella Artois: 140
•Bud Light: 110
•Coors Light: 102
•Budweiser Select: 99
•Michelob Ultra: 96
•Amstel Light: 95
•Miller Genuine Draft Light: 64
•Anchor Steam - 153
•Bass Ale - 160
•Beck's - 140
•Budweiser - 140
•Corona Light - 105
•Guinness Draught - 126
•Guinness Stout - 153
•Miller Lite - 96
•Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - 175
•Sierra Nevada Stout - 210

By the way, the average wine has about 275-300 calories per 12 ounces. Of course, one glass of wine isn't usually 12 ounces. You might drink half as much wine as you would beer, making wine slightly lower calorie.

Mixed drinks are about the same. Gin & tonic or vodka cranberry have about 300 calories per 12 ounces. Margaritas are very bad: they might have about 750 calories!
