"Two things that drive up calories in beer are the carbs (naturally, beer is brewed with barley, wheat, or some other grain) and the alcohol content (because the higher the fermentable sugars, the higher the alcohol).

Light beers are (generally) reduced-carb and low-ABV (Alcohol By Volume) beers, hence, the lighter color and quieter flavor. Any time a beer clocks in the low 100 or less calorie range, that’s how it’s achieved. MGD 64, for instance, has a mini-calorie count by beer standards."
