Alcohol is processed like a carbohydrate, and is taken in to be oxidized by the cells. Since it is already in liquid form, alcohol is absorbed through the stomach lining into the bloodstream. However, its effects on the body trigger its prompt removal by the kidneys. As much as 5% to 10% of consumed alcohol is excreted without oxidation. Alcohol can block normal metabolism in the liver and pancreas, and excessive or prolonged use can cause severe organ damage. (see also the related link)

It's not the alcohol itself which makes a person "fatty", it's the fact that when you eat and then consume larger amounts of alcohol, your liver prioritizes to break that down the alcohol rather then the food you have just eaten seeing it as alcohol is toxic. Your body will then store the carbohydrates not broken down by the liver as fat.
