Bud Light Platinum is one of the most popular light beers on the market, and with good reason. This special beer from Anheuser-Busch has a unique flavor and smooth finish that makes it an ideal choice for people who want to cut back on calories witout sacrificing taste. But perhaps one of the most important aspects of Bud Light Platinum is its alcohol content.

At 6% ABV, Bud Light Platinum has a higher alcohol content than regular Bud Light, which clocks in at 4.2%. The extra alcohol does add up to some extra calories – thee are 137 in each 12-ounce bottle of Bud Light Platinum versus 110 in a comparable serving of regular Bud Light – but those who enjoy their beer with a higher ABV can rest assured that they're getting more bang for their buck.

But what about other light beers? How does Bud Light Platinum stack up against other popular brews? Well, it turns out that its closest competitor is Michelob Ultra, which also boasts an ABV of 6%. However, Michelob Ultra contains just 95 calories per 12 ounces, making it slightly more diet friendly than Bud Light Platinum.
