" Skeptical about the slogan &amp;quot;Guinness is good for you?&amp;quot; Turns out it&amp;#039;s actually better for you than a lighter-looking wheat beer.\u00A0&amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re choosing a brew based on how it&amp;#039;ll impact your weight, wheat is not the way to go,&amp;quot; says former Biggest Loser dietitian Cheryl Forberg. A typical 12-ounce glass of wheat beer has 150 to 176 calories and 13 grams of carbs. Most light beers, by comparison, have about 100 calories and 6 grams of carbs. Here are the eight brews\u00A0you should be drinking this St. Patty&amp;#039;s Day if you want to cut calories.\u00A0 1. Guinness Draught   Even hearty Guinness Draught is a slimmer pick than your standard wheat variety, with 126 calories and 10 grams of carbs. And think about it this way:\u00A0&amp;quot;Slashing 40 calories each time you fill your mug might not sound like a lot, but over time, these small changes help people achieve their weight-loss goals.&amp;quot; Meaning you can have your beer and lose weight, too.\u00A0 2. \u00A0Murphy&amp;#039;s Irish Stout  Similar to Guinness Draught, this heavy\u00A0Irish brew\u00A0clocks in at only 144 calories for authentic St. Patty&amp;#039;s Day sipping. 3. Omission Lager  If you&amp;#039;re gluten-free and looking for a lighter hop, Omission&amp;#039;s Lager extracts the gluten out of malted barley to make a refreshing and safe beer alternative for those with intolerances. And not to mention\u2013 it\u00A0boasts only 140 calories per 12 oz. serving.\u00A0 4. Abita Purple Haze     The funky bottle of Abita&amp;#039;s Purple Haze isn&amp;#039;t the only thing you&amp;#039;ll want to brag about\u2013an American beer mixed with raspberry puree, it lays low at only 128 calories. 5. Bard&amp;#039;s Sorghum Malt Beer    Another\u00A0gluten-free option, Bard&amp;#039;s beer is made with malted sorghum for a sweet flavor that boasts only 155 calories per bottle. 6. Grolsch Pilsner\u00A0     While pilsners might be one of the most complicated beers to brew, they&amp;#039;re certainly not the most unhealthy. This option from Grolsch only has 145 calories per bottle, so you can sip away this St. Patty&amp;#039;s Day. 7. Miller 64    A tried and true classic, Miller&amp;#039;s 64-calorie beer\u00A0will let you enjoy more than one brew\u00A0without any\u00A0guilt.\u00A0  8. Sam Adams Light     Sure, it might seem like heresy to crack open a traditional American beer on the day of the Irish, but when it only has 119 calories per serving, you can&amp;#039;t really complain.\u00A0 Here&amp;#039;s to diet-friendly festivities and all the Guinness treats you can eat.
