Healthline.com published a list of the lowest calorie beers available.
This project presents the same list of beers, but sorted by caloric content divided by the alcohol content. The figure is not very meaningful, except as a relative measure.
The idea is the beers towards the top of the list will give you the best bang for the buck -- if you think about 'bucks' as calories and 'bang' as how much alcohol you will consume.
