The alcohol in alcoholic drinks is all the same, that is ethanol, CH3CH2OH. This is often listed on drinks in standard units in the UK. 1 unit of alcohol = 10ml of ethanol.
Most alcoholic drinks which do not have a sweet taste get almost all of their calories from the ethanol content, so it doesn't matter if you drink vodka, whiskey or beer, the number of calories ingested depends upon the number of units drunk.
We can calculate the kcal per unit.
1 unit = 10 ml ethanol = 7.89 g
Ethanol has ~7 kcal per gram so 1 unit = 55 kcal.
A standard UK bottle of 40% whiskey will thus contain 28 units = 1540 kcal
So every 70cl bottle of 40% spirits = the same as just over 200 g of butter!
Some wines and beers do not allow all the sugar to ferment to alcohol, and these contain excess calories from sugar as well as alcohol.
Try a search for calories in beer/wine or such like for listings for known drinks brands.
That'd be the Vodkas I suppose. Anything like a liqueur goes straight out b/c of the sugars. I suppose other distilled(but not flavoured) drinks like whiskeys wouldn't be that far behind.
