How many calories are in a High Noon?
A 12 fl oz can of hard seltzer — the format High Noon comes in — carries 86 calories, and the drink runs 24 calories per 100 g. USDA publishes no row for the brand itself, so that figure is the generic FNDDS hard seltzer record. Shelf labels on canned seltzers sit a little higher, at 89 to 101 a can.
You'd need to walk about 17 minutes to burn the 86 calories in one 12 fl oz can (360 g).

High Noon quick facts
There is no branded USDA record for High Noon. The closest match in the database is FNDDS 2710622, "Hard seltzer" — the generic entry for a canned spirit-based sparkling drink, and the one FNDDS gives a 12 fl oz household serving. That is the same object in your hand: one cold can, 360 g of liquid.
Use it as the baseline. Real labels on the shelf, listed further down, sit within a few calories of it either way, and the pattern they follow is easy to predict once you have the generic number.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 1 can, 12 fl oz (360 g) | % Daily Value |

Two rows you would expect are missing: added sugars and trans fat. FNDDS does not publish either for this beverage record, so nothing is listed rather than guessed. Cholesterol is 0 mg, and potassium comes to 22 mg a can — under 1% of the Daily Value, which is why neither earns a row.
US servings, from a 12 oz can down to one ounce
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 fl oz | 30 g | 7 kcal |
| 1 oz by weight | 28 g | 7 kcal |
| Tall glass over ice, 8 fl oz | 240 g | 58 kcal |
| One can, 12 fl oz | 360 g | 86 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 24 kcal |
Only the 12 fl oz can is a USDA household measure. The 8 fl oz glass, the fluid ounce and the ounce by weight are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings.
That last pair is worth a second look, because US kitchens use one word for two different things. A fluid ounce of seltzer weighs about 30 g; an ounce on a scale is 28 g. At this calorie density both land on 7, so nothing goes wrong here — but the same slip on a syrup or a liqueur moves the count by a tenth. If you log by volume, log the whole can and skip the conversion.
Seltzer, beer, cider and sweetened malt in the same can
Every drink below is measured at the same 12 fl oz, 360 g, so the column on the right is a straight cost comparison.
| Version | Per 100 g | 12 fl oz can (360 g) |
|---|---|---|
| Hard seltzer | 24 kcal | 86 kcal |
| Light beer | 29 kcal | 104 kcal |
| Regular beer | 43 kcal | 155 kcal |
| Hard cider | 56 kcal | 202 kcal |
| Higher-alcohol beer | 58 kcal | 209 kcal |
| Sweetened malt beverage | 68 kcal | 245 kcal |
Of these six, hard seltzer is the lightest per gram and per can. The gap to light beer is only 18 calories, which is smaller than most people assume when they switch. The gap to a sweetened malt drink is 159 calories a can — that record runs 68 per 100 g, close to three times the seltzer, and the difference is sugar rather than alcohol.
Note also that the higher-alcohol beer row costs more than regular beer with fewer carbs. Strength shows up in the calorie column even when the carbohydrate column goes down, because alcohol itself is the expensive ingredient.
Can size moves the number more than flavor does
Flavor names sell the can. Volume decides the count.
| Can or glass | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 8 fl oz glass, USDA generic | 240 g | 58 kcal |
| 12 fl oz can, USDA generic | 360 g | 86 kcal |
| 16 fl oz can, USDA generic scaled | 473 g | 114 kcal |
| 16 fl oz can, a shelf label at 30 kcal per 100 g | 473 g | 142 kcal |
The two 16 fl oz lines are the point. Scaling the USDA record to a tallboy is our own arithmetic from the 100 g figure, not a USDA serving, and it lands at 114. An actual branded 16 oz seltzer label reads 142, roughly 65% more than the same style of drink in a 12 oz can. The container explains the jump to 114; the juice-forward label at 30 per 100 g against the generic 24 explains the rest.
Across the branded hard seltzers USDA carries, labels run 25 to 30 calories per 100 g, and the 12 fl oz cans among them come to 89 to 101 calories — Corona's variety seltzer at the bottom, juice-forward cans like White Claw Mango and Fruit Smash toward the top. Seltzers built on real juice, which is the category High Noon sits in, carry the extra carbohydrate that puts them at the high end of that band. If you want one number to log for a 12 oz can of any of them, 100 is closer than 86.
Sodium, sugar and where the 86 calories actually come from
Total sugars are 0 g. Carbohydrate is 2.0 g a can, 1% of the Daily Value. Protein is 0.3 g. Add those up at 4 calories per gram and you get about 9 calories — the remaining 77 come from alcohol, which is the whole reason a drink with no sugar and no fat still costs 86.
Sodium is 61 mg a can, 3% of the FDA's 2,300 mg Daily Value, or less than a thirtieth of a teaspoon of table salt. That is genuinely negligible, and it is the one row where seltzer separates itself from a mixed drink: USDA's michelada record carries 285 mg per 100 g, because tomato juice and a salted rim come with it.
For context on how many cans a day is a normal question rather than a nutrition one, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans describe moderate drinking as two drinks or fewer a day for men and one or fewer for women, and say adults who do not drink should not start. CDC's alcohol pages cover what counts as one standard drink. Calories are only one column of that decision.
How does High Noon compare?
| Drink | Per 100 g | Protein | Carbs | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hard seltzer | 24 kcal | 0.07 g | 0.55 g | 12 fl oz (360 g) | 86 kcal |
| Light beer | 29 kcal | 0.24 g | 1.64 g | 12 fl oz (360 g) | 104 kcal |
| Regular beer | 43 kcal | 0.46 g | 3.55 g | 12 fl oz (360 g) | 155 kcal |
| Hard cider | 56 kcal | 0 g | 5.92 g | 12 fl oz (360 g) | 202 kcal |
Our take: for cutting calories, the seltzer is the pick — but only against full-strength beer or cider, where you save 69 and 116 calories a can. Trading light beer for seltzer saves 18, which is not worth changing what you like drinking. Cider is the one to watch: 5.92 g of carbohydrate per 100 g works out to about 21 g in a can (our own arithmetic from the USDA figure), and it drinks like juice, so two go down as fast as one seltzer. And whatever is in the can, check the size before the flavor — moving from 12 oz to 16 oz costs more than switching categories.

High Noon FAQs
How many calories are in a High Noon?
86 calories for a 12 fl oz can, using USDA's generic hard seltzer record at 24 calories per 100 g. USDA publishes no row for the brand itself. Canned seltzer labels on US shelves run 25 to 30 calories per 100 g, and the 12 fl oz cans among them come to 89 to 101 calories.
How many calories are in a 12 oz hard seltzer?
86 calories. A 12 fl oz can weighs about 360 g, and USDA's hard seltzer record runs 24 calories per 100 g. Poured into an 8 fl oz glass over ice, the same drink is 58 calories. Branded 12 oz cans on US shelves come in between 89 and 101.
Does High Noon have sugar?
Zero grams of total sugars in the USDA hard seltzer record, per 100 g and per can. The whole carbohydrate load is 2.0 g a can, about 1% of the Daily Value. FNDDS does not publish added sugars for this record, so no added-sugars figure appears on this page.
How many carbs are in a hard seltzer?
2.0 g in a 12 fl oz can, or 0.55 g per 100 g — roughly 1% of the Daily Value. That is a fraction of what beer carries: regular beer is 3.55 g per 100 g and hard cider 5.92 g, since apple sugars stay in the finished drink.
Is hard seltzer lower in calories than beer?
Yes. 86 calories a can against 155 for regular beer and 104 for light beer, all at 12 fl oz. Seltzer beats light beer by only 18 calories, so the swap matters most against full-strength beer, where the gap is 69 calories per can.
How many calories in hard seltzer vs hard cider?
86 calories against 202 for a 12 fl oz hard cider — roughly two and a third times the seltzer. Cider carries 5.92 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, about 21 g a can by our own arithmetic from the USDA figure, while the seltzer holds 2.0 g.
How many calories are in a 16 oz hard seltzer?
About 114 calories if you scale USDA's 24-per-100-g figure to a 16 fl oz can (473 g) — our own arithmetic, not a USDA serving. A real 16 oz shelf label at 30 calories per 100 g reads 142, roughly 65% more than the same drink in a 12 oz can.
Does hard seltzer have sodium?
61 mg in a 12 fl oz can, 3% of the 2,300 mg Daily Value and less than a thirtieth of a teaspoon of table salt. Per 100 g the record lists 17 mg. For contrast, USDA's michelada row carries 285 mg per 100 g, because the tomato juice and salted rim come with it.
