Hi,

Here is a great site with all the common lagers/beers listed with their nutritional info:
http://www.drinksmixer.com/desc493.html
It quotes "per 1oz serving" (as if anyone would have such a small serving :angel: ), but there are 20oz in a pint.

There is a Drink-Wise website with lots of info regarding alcohol and calories:
http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/facts/calories-in-alcohol
Here is the list that they issue:

How many calories are in an alcoholic drink?
With a pint of bitter the same as a medium slice of pizza, and a standard size ‘ready to drink’ bottle (‘alcopop’) the same as 100g of cookies, the calories in alcohol soon add up…

Gin or vodka and tonic =126
Dark rum and coke =142
Medium glass of white wine (175ml) =130
Medium glass of red wine (175ml) =120
Bottle of wine (white) =555
Bottle of wine (red) =510
5% Lager (pint) =240-50
Cider (pint) =180-250
Stout (pint) =210
Bitter/Ale =180-230
Liqueur (50ml) =100 -170
Brandy (50ml) =110
Whiskey (25ml) =55
Mixed drink (Ready to drink) (275ml bottle) =160-228

That's probably a question that many people will be asking over the next couple of weeks, so I hope it is of use.
Regards,
