It depends on your FG and OG. Beersmith will calculate it and there's online tools like this:

There's lots of calories in alcohol - several times more than sugar.

Sadly I know... avg of 11c/g of alcohol compared to 9c/g of FAT... it's just everything else in the mix that confuses it for me. Thanks for the link.
