The correct answer is 153 in a bottle. (That's what you asked...right?) The second persons answer of 13 was for only one fluid oz. I went to the same web site and clicked on 12 oz can and came up with 153. (I knew the 13 had to be wrong) Thanks for the link buddy.

Added info: Incidentally...there also IS a little less alcohol in a lite beer. (Based on Wikipedia) some of the calories come from the alcohol itself.

Sorry Huate, I see you now updated (corrected) your answer. (Next time proof read it before submitting it.) Thanks for the link and your answer. I still gave you a thumbs up. :-) Report It
