Light beer vs normal beer
A bottle of light beer has about 100 kcal, a half litre of normal beer about 215. Light beer wins, though part of that is the smaller serving.
The difference
115 kcal
Light beer has less alcohol and less sugar left from the grain, and those are where a beer's calories come from. It also comes in a 330 ml bottle rather than a half litre.
To be fair, compare like with like: a normal 330 ml bottle is about 140 kcal, so the light one saves about 40. A pint of normal beer is about 245.
If the light one means you have four instead of three, that is 400 against 420 for three normal bottles. Count the round, not the label.
