title_body: What is the "nutritional calorie" count of beer?
upvoted_answer: It really comes down to the specific beer you are drinking. 
  
  In addition to trace elements, and vitamins, the main dietary contribution of beer is from carbohydrates, proteins and alcohol.
  
  Protein and Carbohydrates provide 4 kcal/g energy, while alcohol provides 7 kcal/g. 
  
  With dietary planing, you need to look at the specific foods you plan to consume, and no different with beer and diet - here you'll need to look at specific beers to determine nutritional and energy value.
