Yes. And it's the same as carbs. Fats are 9 calories per gram. But the one that most people do not know is that Alcohol is 7 calories per gram.

When you talk about your "beer gut", take a look at all the calories your alcohol intake is causing. Since Alcohol is a poison and not a "nutrient", for the most part it does not have to be accounted for on a nutrition label.
