Happy St. Patrick's Day! Before you raise your glass, know the truth about beer calories. Contrary to popular belief, darker beers like Guinness aren't necessarily higher in calories or alcohol content than lighter beers. In fact, a pint of Guinness has fewer calories and similar alcohol content to lighter beers like Bud Light. It’s the alcohol, not the color, that contributes to calorie counts. So, this St. Patrick's Day, why not choose a richer, more flavorful pint and still keep the calories in check? Find out how to make better drink choices.
