Bud Light and Budweiser are different SKUs, not a crown. Official Bud Light: 4.2% ABV / 110 calories / 6.6 g carbs. Official us.budweiser.com Budweiser page omitted standalone ABV (age-gated). Other Budweiser SKUs (Zero, Select 55) unused as the flagship number. A 12-ounce 5% beer is one NIAAA drink; at 4.2% it is 0.84. No 2026 ranking.
