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.
As a general rule, diabetics are able to drink alcohol in light to moderate amounts without any negative health effects. Alcoholic drinks are typically very low in carbohydrates â a can of beer contains around 10 grams of carbohydrate while wine (with the exception of port), and spirits contain virtually none. Compare this to some soft drinks which contain up to 35 grams of carbohydrates per serving.
