The Highs and Lows of Beer…Calories

Jump to Comments

I came across this extremely helpful post on FitSugar this morning: Top 10 Highest-Calorie Beers (and the 10 Lowest!). With a slew of holiday soirees coming up, it makes sense to know some of the “health” info about what you are imbibing.  A girl’s gotta watch her figure, right?  I do not need a Santa-like belly.

Most of you probably know that I am usually a  sucker for flavor and “good” beer, but knowing that Amstel Light (my preference of the “lights”) is very low in calories and still high in deliciousness certainly gives it a leg up on the tippy top of calories, and another friend, Sam Adams Lager.  What will you be drinking at your next Ugly Sweater Party?  Cheers!
