Light beer isn't a major source of sugar. Photo Credit Xesai/iStock/Getty Images. Switching to light beer is a good way to cut calories when you're trying to lose weight. Unlike regular beer, light beer does contain a miniscule amount of sugar -- less than 1 gram -- which may have something to do with how it's made. However, when it comes to weight control, it's the total calories in the beer that count.

Hard soda, because of all the sugar, typically has over 30 grams of carbs per serving. Beer clocks in at around 12 grams of carbs per serving.. And Langer is more concerned about her clients consuming large amounts of added sugars than counting carbs.
