Alcohol is actually its own macronutrient and it contains 7 calories per gram but because it isn’t essential for survival it’s not typically mentioned with the other macros: protein, fat, and carbs. For macro counting purposes, it is tracked as a carb, fat or combination of both. To calculate macronutrients for alcohol, we need to know how many calories it contains. To find this information, you can use the nutritional information listed on the label of the beverage (if there is one), or you can usually find it on Google.
