5% alcohol = 5g alcohol / 100 mL
355 mL (can) / 100 mL = 3.55 100mL portions
5g x 3.55 100 mL portions = 17.75g alcohol / can of beer
Since 1g alcohol = 7 calories...
17.75g x 7 cal / g = 124 calories from alcohol alone... with most beer having about 8 - 10 g of carbohydrates (+ 32 - 40 calories).
Alcohol doesn't come with nutrition labels, so hopefully this helps some calculate the calories out! Keeping in mind that there are 29.6 ml / oz.
1 oz of 40% vodka = 80+ calories
