Low Calorie Beer FAQs

How Many Calories Are in Beer?

Beer is notoriously high in both calories and  carbs. On average, a pint of 5% ABV beer contains around 240 calories (current NHS estimate) - about the same amount as you will find in a slice of pizza from a takeaway!
In terms of carbs, standard beer is one of the highest carb alcoholic drinks you can get. Regular beers often pack upwards of 14g of carbs per can, with the actual figure often being much higher than this. For example, a pint of Corona contains around 22g of carbs, whilst a pint of Stella Artois contains almost 18g of carbs.

Yes, most beer is vegan! If you’re following a vegan diet and want to enjoy a refreshing pint, you’ll be able to do so as the base ingredients of beer include water, barley, and yeast - none of which derive from animal products. However, some less-common beers, such as cask ales, may contain ingredients such as honey, Isinglass, or milk. 

Which Has More Calories, Wine Or Beer?

Generally, drinks with a higher carbohydrate content will have a higher number of calories. Because of this, beer contains more calories than wine. This means that spirits and wines are less likely to contribute to weight gain unless of course, you opt for a low calorie beer from DrinkWell. 

Can You Drink Beer On a Diet?

If you are watching your waistline, you should be able to drink beer. However, when you’re on a diet, enjoy it in moderation.
