Calorie is a measure of stored energy. Drinkable alcohol - ethanol - stores a LOT of energy (cars can run on it) and it can be completely metabolized (digested) by human body. It does not always metabolize completely - but the average energy output is still fairly high.
Many alcoholic drinks, like Bailey's, also have very high sugar and/or fat content.
Actually beer is fairly low on calories (less than 2% milk or Coke) because it has relatively little alcohol and sugar.

∙ 13y agoAll alcoholic drinks contain calories and some contain more than others. Distilled spirits have the fewest. Beer, wine and spirits contain no fat, no cholesterol, and very little sodium. They tend to have fewer calories than most non-alcoholic drinks such as colas.
However, drinking alcohol doesn't lead to weight gain, according to extensive medical research, and many studies report a small reduction in weight for women who drink.
The reason that alcohol doesn't increase weight is unclear, but research suggests that alcohol energy is not efficiently used. Alcohol also appears to increase metabolic rate significantly, thus causing more calories to be burned rather than stored in the body as fat. Other research has found consumption of sugar to decrease as consumption of alcohol increases.
Contrary to common belief, the health benefits of drinking in moderation appear to come largely from the alcohol itself rather than from specific substances found in particular beverages.
