Do not drink & drive. Kenneth Vercammen has served as     a Municipal Prosecutor from 1991- 1999. Different beer brands have varied alcohol     contents. Be careful what you drink.

Alcohol and Calorie Content of About 200 Popular Beers

Generally three types of beer are sold: regular, light, and non-alcoholic. The term     light intends to signify a product with less alcohol and fewer calories than regular beer.     About 2-3 percent of beer sales are now of the light type (4). Non-alcoholic beer usually     claims less than a half percent of alcohol and is intended for people who desire a product     with little or no alcohol.

In all, 202 samples of beer were tested. The alcohol and calorie content for each     sample are reported. In comparison to regular beer which averaged 5 percent alcohol and 43     calories per 100 ml, light and non-alcoholic beer averaged 16 and 94 percent less alcohol     and 27 and 60 percent fewer calories, respectively.
