Remember Natty Light, the cheap beer you used to drink in college? Their parent company, Anheuser-Busch, now sells a hard seltzer under the Natural Light name. This line of alcoholic fizzy waters is also marketed toward college students, as, according to CNN, it costs about 20 percent less than leading competitors and is sold in bulk 24-packs. Natural Light Seltzer, which comes in two flavors (Aloha Beaches, a mango/peach blend, and Catalina Lime Mixer, black cherry/lime combo), clocks in at 130 calories and 6 percent alcohol by volume per can.
For those who want to hold onto summer just a little bit longer, set your sights on Smirnoff Seltzer. The available flavors are summer in a can: cranberry lime, watermelon, raspberry rosé, berry lemonade, and piña colada. These seltzers are only 90 calories per can with 4.5 percent alcohol by volume. And there's zero sugar to boot.
White Claw's biggest competitor would have to be Truly Hard Seltzer — and it makes sense why so many people would also love this brand. Truly is available in a huge variety of flavors (13!), including wild berry, passion fruit, and pomegranate. At 100 calories and 1 gram of sugar, with 5 percent alcohol by volume, Truly is a low-cal (yet still totally tasty) treat.
Bon & Viv seltzers have seriously eye-catching designs on their cans, plus they come in some very unique flavors.

These seltzers are only 90 calories per can (with no added sugar) and contain 4.5 percent alcohol by volume.
