Is there some kind of table I can use to calculate or is there a specific number of grams per ounce of alchohol?


Ethyl alcohol is the one for alcoholic beverages.

The standard values for calculation are approximately:

Fat: 9 calories per gram
Protein: 4 calories per gram
Carbs: 4 calories per gram
Alcohol: 7 calories per gram
