Well I was pretty surprised. I've always assume a pint of something

is a base 200 kcals, and that's why it's advised to switch to spirits or you'll get fat

I know a pint is 568ml, but 115 a can is a lot less than I expected

If a can is nearer a 100, and you have 4 cans on a night in. It makes a bit of difference at 460 than 800
