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.
Even sweeter, fortified wines are lower in carbs than most beers. Sherry, for example, contains only 5 carbs in a standard glass, about equivalent to a light or low-carb beer. Dessert wines go against this general trend, however, with these very sweet wines providing as many as 14 grams of carbs in a standard glass.tandard beers range from 10 to more than 20 grams of carbs in a 12-ounce glass. At the low end, stouts and lagers contain 10 to 11 grams in a glass. Porters, ales and wheat beers span the middle of the spectrum, with various flavors and sweeteners providing 12 to 20 grams of carbs per serving.
