Math question ... did I calculate this correctly?

[PICK3]

Can someone help me calculate the alcohol calories in Michelob Ultra beer? It's 4.1% alcohol by volume.

Is it 4.1% (alcohol) x 12oz = .492 oz = 13.95g alcohol

13.95g/7g = 0.98 alcohol calories per bottle

That's fluid ounces, not weight ounces. You need to apply the density of the alcohol before you'll know the weight.

 

[mrplunkey]

density of water = 1 gram per cubic cm at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

density of ethanol = 0.789 grams per cubic cm at STP

4.1% x 12 fl oz x 0.789 g/ 1g = 0.388 ounces of alcohol

0.388 ounces * 28.349 grams / ounce = 11.00 grams of alcohol

11.0 grams x 7 calories per gram = 77 calories of alcohol

HTH

If you are shooting for pure caloric efficiency of getting drunk, just do shots of everclear (or any pure grain alcohol, counting moonshine) and mix it with your zero-calorie drink of choice.

Then, stay away from the beer nuts, late night krystal runs, and countless hangover remedies that are just massive amounts of calories.
