CORE ALCOHOL TOOL

Alcohol Calories Calculator.
Made clear.

Estimate calories from alcohol itself using the serving size and ABV on the label. Mixers, carbohydrates, and sugar are not included.

ALCOHOL-ONLY CALORIES

Start with what is on the label.

Describe the drink

Calories shown are from ethanol only: approximately 7 kcal per gram of pure alcohol.

THE MATH

Pure alcohol ×
7 calories.

We estimate pure alcohol as volume × ABV × 0.789 g/ml, then multiply by 7 kcal per gram. This is useful for comparing alcohol exposure, but it is not a nutrition label or a measure of safety.
