Alcoholic beverages vary in how they're made. Beer is distilled and wine and liquor are fermented. While beer, wine and liquor can often be high in calories and sugar, little, if any, fat occurs naturally in most alcoholic beverages.
Beer
According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, one can of ordinary beer contains 153 calories and 0 g of fat. A 12-oz. serving of ordinary light beer contains 103 calories with 0 g of fat. If there is no measurable amount of fat, there can be no calories from fat.
Liquor
One jigger of 80-proof distilled liquor, including gin, rum, vodka and whiskey, contains 97 calories with 0 g of fat. One jigger, which is a typical serving size of liquor, is equivalent to 1.5 fl. oz.
Wine
One serving of red table wine, 5 fl. oz., contains 125 g of calories with 0 g of fat. The same amount of white table wine contains 121 calories with 0 g of fat.
Other Alcoholic Beverages
To find alcoholic beverages with fat calories, you'll have to look at certain liqueurs. Thirty-four-proof coffee liqueur with cream contains 154 calories per jigger with 65 calories from fat. A pina colada prepared from a 6.8 fl. oz.-can contains 526 calories and 143 calories from fat.
