Whatever the label says, that's how many.

Beer doesn't have to use a nutritional facts label. Most do not so you can't easily find the calorie count. |

Anywhere from 65 calories (don't know if I can call this a beer) to 200. I like a Coors Light or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale usually and the Sierra has more calories, it also has a more full bodied taste.

I am forgetting it at the moment, but there is a formula that uses ABV and a few constants that can be used to find caloric content. |

Oh, please post it when you think of it. That seems like something fun to add to labels for home brew.  |

It is something like the constant for ethanol (6.9 grams) times the ABW + the constant for carbs per gram (4.0/g) x ?-0.1 x Final Gravity.
So, it is (6.9g * ABW) + 4.0/g(?-0.1) * FG. I'll try and figure out what the ? is. Also, you need to convert the FG into oz. since that is what we use in America. I believe FG = oz. of beer/mL of beer, but the constant that can be used is 3.5.
(6.9 * ABW) + 4.0/g(?-0.1) * FG * 3.5
I also cannot remember if it is ABV or ABW....now I'm thinking ABW since the units will cancel out. |

According to many studies I've read, vodka is a far better choice for diabetics than beer, because beer contains carbohydrates in addition to the alcohol, while vodka does not. And drinking vodka can lower blood sugar.
