There is some sort of agreement that calories and other nutrition data are not presented on the labels of alcoholic beverages. But this info is listed in the [USDA.gov nutrients database][1]. For example, [1 jigger or 1.5 oz of 80 proof vodka has 97 Calories.][2] These calories represent "metabolic energy," which is energy that can be actually used by your body. Indigestible dietary fiber, for example, cellulose, has some combustible energy but no metabolic energy. A source that claims that alcohol contains metabolic energy: - [European Journal of Clinical Nutrition][3]: Alcohol has 29.6 kJ (7 Cal) of combustible energy and 29 kJ (6.9 Cal) of metabolic energy per gram.
