✦ ~2-2.5 units per pint ✦ 170-200 kcal per pint ✦ Most consumed UK alcohol ✦ B vitamins from fermentation

Standard lager (typically 3.5-4.5% ABV) is a pale, bottom-fermented beer. A pint contains around 2-2.5 units of alcohol and 170-200 kcal. It provides small amounts of B vitamins from the fermentation process. Standard lager is the most consumed alcoholic beverage in the UK and a meaningful source of free-sugar calories and alcohol units in the average diet.

Preparation note

Track units across a session: seven pints of standard lager equals the entire 14-unit weekly limit. Alternating with soft drinks or water significantly reduces total unit and calorie intake.
