HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Alcohol and Nutrition. Alcoholic drinks represent ‘empty calories’, meaning they are high in kilojoules but do not deliver any nutritional benefit.

Detailed explanation-2: -The short answer is that, mainly as a legacy of Prohibition, alcoholic beverages aren’t regulated by the FDA, but a different federal agency called the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)-and this agency doesn’t require nutritional labeling.

Detailed explanation-3: -As a general rule, drinks with more alcohol will carry more calories. Alcohol contains about 7 calories per gram, which is almost as much as the most calorie-dense nutrient of all: fat, which has 9 calories per gram. More alcohol in a drink means more calories.
