The first ingredient in most almond milks is either water or "almond base" (the latter generally referring to some form of blenderized and filtered almond water). Exactly how much almond is contained in this "almond base" varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. However, if you check the fiber content of your almond milk, that number will give you some clue about the likely amount of almonds included: while there's about one gram of fiber in every seven almonds, many almond milks generally contain zero grams of fiber per eight ounces!
Manufacturers recognize that most consumers aren't purchasing almond milk in order to get the benefit derived from almonds. They view consumers as desiring a substitute for cow's milk that looks, tastes, and flows onto cereal like cow's milk. For this reason, they will often enrich their almond milks with the same nutrients used to enrich cow's milk: vitamins A and D. This step makes the almond milk appear more similar to cow's milk from the consumer perspective. Manufacturers will also often add calcium to show even more similarity between almond milk and cow's milk. (Three-quarters of an ounce of almonds contain approximately the same amount of calories as one cup of skim milk. However, the almonds contain only one-seventh the amount of calcium as found in the milk.)

I mainly use it in coffee, tea, and smoothies. I don't eat cereal so it lasts a while.

That was already addressed. Some Manufacturers add calcium to their almond milk.

Almonds are the complete source of energy as well as nutrients. They are especially, rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids like oleic and palmitoleic acids that help to lower LDL or "bad cholesterol" and increase HDL or "good cholesterol." Research studies suggest that Mediterranean diet, which is excellent in monounsaturated fatty acids help to prevent coronary artery disease and strokes by favoring healthy blood lipid profile. Almonds are also packed with many important B-complex groups of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, and folates. Together, these vitamins work as co-factors for enzymes during cellular substrate metabolism.

Fair enough.
BTW, the little lady was hurting like a motherfricker Saturday. She's not used to drinking a bottle and a half of wine by herself like that.

1 cup of almond milk contains around ~40 calories.
Just 1 ounce of almonds contains ~160 calories.
How many almonds do you actually believe you're ingesting per serving of almond milk?

Do you understand how "milking" or "juicing" works?

Do you?
That's great if you want to isolate the antioxidants and flavanoids from your kale for a smoothie.
The health benefits of almonds primarily come from its monounsaturated fats, which provide the cardiovascular benefits and LDL lowering properties. Fats are intrinsically high in calories, and almond milk isn't.
You do the math.
