Beers usually come in packs.

In terms of beer: 9 calories = 1 fat gram. So...
1 beer containing 150 calories = 16.6 fat grams
1 beer containing 100 calories = 11.1 fat grams

And in terms of alcohol, any drinker knows that 6.5% feels significantly more drunky than 4.2%. This, of course, can only be qualified by the individual user.

Regardless of the amount of beer that one consumes: for those drinking a shitty-tasting light (100 calorie) beer, the drinker gains 5.5 less fat grams than if they drink a nice-tasting, quality (150 calorie) beer.

So the question is: How many do they drink?

And that is, of course, up to the appetite of the drinker.
