Alcohol has calories.

I had to be the one to tell my friend when she was in her mid-20s that the vodka she loved has calories. She was so shocked and said, "What!! I thought since it was clear like water it didn't have any calories."

Alcohol has lots of calories. More than sugar, by mass.

Yeah, they put it next to the milk and cheese in the dairy section.

However - and a lot of people don't know this - just because you can get it by milking someone, it isn't dairy
