    They are ranked by the calories.

    I did not realize how low cal Guinness is.

    Oh god, my step mom drinks that mgd 64 crap. I tried it once, it reminded me of how fake sugar tastes. Worst drink ever.

    have you guys seen Bud Select "55" yet? Just saw it tonight, its the "lowest calorie beer in the world," although they still pulled off 4%ABV somehow.

    That's impossible. Alcohol is about 7 calories per gram of pure ethanol.
    At 4% ABV * 12 fl oz = 0.48 fl oz of ethanol.
    .48 fl oz to mL = 14.195mL
    14.195mL * .789g/mL = ~11.2g
    11.2g * 7g/kcal = 78.4 calories from ethanol

    Working backwards....

    55kcal / 7g/kcal = 7.857g
    7.857g / .789g/mL = 9.958mL
    9.958mL to fl oz = .3367fl oz
    .3367 fl oz / 12 fl oz = .028 * 100 = 2.8% ABV if all calories are from alcohol.

    What you can take away from this is light beer also means light in alcohol, and big alcohol beers will always be high in calories.

    you know they could get those calories even lower if they just went with an ethanol and water mix. Maybe put a 0 cal beer flavoring in it. Or what a bout an O'Douls 55?
