Top 5 Healthiest Beers

1. MGD 64

64 calories
2 g carbohydrates
2.8% alcohol

It’s right on the bottle: Only 64 calories. And it claims the number one spot over Beck’s Premier Light because it’s a little lower in alcohol content. And that’s the politically correct choice, right?

2. Beck's Premier Light

64 calories
4 g carbohydrates
3.8% alcohol

Even though it’s one of the lowest calorie beers on the market, it has nearly as much alcohol as its competitors. So don’t forget that. Here’s why: University of Washington scientists found that even just one or two alcoholic drinks can make you more likely to hone in on just on thing, which can impair your driving. For example, you may be so focused on going the correct speed, that you’re more prone to miss bounding deer or braking cars.

3. Michelob Ultra

95 calories
3 g carbohydrates
4.2% alcohol

Michelob was one of the first to market a “low-carb” beer. But here’s a secret: Almost all the low-calorie brews are relatively close in carb count. (Sam Adams Light and Yuengling Lager Light are the notable exceptions.) Just look at the label. Which is exactly what you should be doing for anything you eat and drink.

4. Amstel Light

95 calories
6 g carbohydrates
3.5% alcohol

No frills here. Just a good beer that won’t fill you out.

5. Miller Lite

96 calories
3 g carbohydrates
4.2% alcohol

Every bar has Miller Lite on tap for a reason. When in doubt, here's your order.
