In Australia light beer means less alcohol, that is done by adding less sugar or malt, resulting in a beer also lighter in calories.

Not sure about other countries.

In America, it refers to less calories. To achieve this, they use more water and less malt and hops, hence reducing the ABV%. WELL ONLY IF YOU DRINK IT !!!!!!!

For starters both dark beer and light colored beer are "regular" beers. All beers are regular. As for your question the answer is yes and no. There are many styles of beer that is dark in color that have more calories than light beers, but many of those have a higher alcohol by volume percentage. There are also some styles that have less calories. The poster child for dark beers Guiness has less calories than a Bud lt per 12 ounce serving, and unlike their counterpart the brewers at Guiness don't remove the taste.

What is the percentage of alcohol in a Budweiser?

A light beer becomes "light" due to the way it is is brewed and the recipe that causes the color as well as the calories or even the carbohydrates. The alcohol content comes from the way it is fermented and the yeast used. According to Anheuser-Busch, both Bud Light and Bud Light Lime are at 4.2% ABV.Some more information:Budweiser - 5.0% Alcohol content. 143 Calories. 10.6 Carbs.Bud Light - 4.2% Alcohol content. 110 Calories. 6.6 Carbs.Bud Ice - 5.5% Alcohol Content. 148 Calories. 8.9 Carbs.Bud Ice Light - 4.1% Alcohol Content. 110 Calories. 6.5 Carbs.Bud Light Lime - 4.2% Alcohol Content. 116 Calories. 8 CarbsBud Light Platinum - 6.0% Alcohol Content. 137 Calories. 4.4 Carbs.


Which has more calories wine or beer?

Light beer has about 99 calories in 12 ounces, or about 8 1/4 calories per ounce. Regular beer has about 132 calories in 12 ounces so about 12 calories per ounce. The more alcohol the more calories, so wine ranges in accordance with the amount of alcohol in it from about 16 calories per ounce for 9% alcohol content to about 26 calories per ounce for 15% alcohol content. And if the alcohol content goes higher, so do the calories. Then it depends on how much of each you drink because people usually drink more beer than wine, and of course, you'd need to know whether it's light or regular beer, and for wine you'd need to know what the alcohol content is, and how much you're being served. But the short answer is that wine apparently has more calories per ounce than beer does.


How Do Alcohol Calories Work?

Yes, there are. Alcohol contains calories, but drinking alcohol doesn't lead to weight gain, according to extensive medical research, and many studies report a small reduction in weight for women who drink. Beer, wine and spirits contain no fat, no cholesterol, and very little sodium. Of course, the nutritional value of different alcohol beverages varies. The moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better health and longer life than is either abstaining from alcohol or abusing alcohol. The key word is moderation.
