✦ Higher ABV: 5-5.5%
✦ ~2.8-3.1 units per pint
✦ 140-160 kcal per 330ml
✦ Fuller malt flavour
Premium lager is typically 5-5.5% ABV — stronger than standard lager — with a fuller flavour profile from higher malt content. A 330ml bottle contains around 1.7-1.8 units and 140-160 kcal; a pint (~568ml) contains around 2.8-3.1 units. Units accumulate more quickly than with standard lager at the same serving rate.

Preparation note
Premium lager's higher ABV means fewer servings fit within recommended weekly limits. Keep track of units when choosing premium over standard lager in a session.
