Calories in beer

[steve0085]

I'm wondering where the calories come from in beer? I got this amstel light in front of me: 95 calories, 5g carbs, 1g protein, 0g fat. Now at 4 calories per gram of carbs and protein, that's 24 calories. Where's the other 71 come from? Does alcohol convert to a carb in the body?

Most of the calories in the beer come from it's alcohol content.

Alcohol consumption is the hardest thing for me to curb while on cycle. Now, Im not saying Im an alkie but does anyone else have this problem

You and me both Bizarro. Friends are always callin' asking me to drink and I'm too weak to say no.

I try to fool myself by drinking mixed drinks (gin & tonic, etc) over beer but I know it doesnt really matter....

My favorite drink is definitely beer, but whiskey sours are always good too

I remember way back when I lived on beer too. I dont think I have had a beer in over a year.
