9. [Light] Beer
Since there are way too many brands of beer out there to name, I went ahead and chose a handful of specific light beers to feature on the best alcoholic drinks for diabetics type 1 or type 2 list. Now, I say “light” beer, ‘cause that’s what you’re going to want to stick to. Light beer. Regular beer has far more calories and carbs, and unfortunately, those craft brews are even worse. Bud Select 55 is one of the lighter varieties that has half the calories (ahem 55) and carbs (1.8g) of most. Although, I would personally go with MDG 64 (yeah, these numbers indicate the number of calories) as it’s not much higher than the Bud. Your Miller Lite, your Coors Lite, Corona Lite, Bud Lite and Bud Lite Lime are closer to the 100 calorie range. And if you’re like me—light beer just isn’t your thing. There’s always Yuengling Light; which isn’t too far off in flavor as the real deal and only 99 calories and 8.8g of carbs.
