Beer, bitter, strong (>5% ABV)

Strong bitter is an alcoholic beer with an alcohol content above 5% by volume. The figures here describe the drink per 100ml, which provides 175 kJ of energy, 4.7g of alcohol and 2.2g of carbohydrate, all of which is recorded as sugars. It contains only trace amounts of fat and fibre, and little protein.

Alcohol contributes energy, so the trace fat content does not mean the drink is free of energy. Both its alcohol and sugar content are relevant when considering energy intake. Alcohol also affects judgement and coordination, and stronger beers contain more alcohol than weaker beers of the same volume. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
