    Ethanol contains more energy, 1 gram of alcohol can provide 7 kilocalories of energy (1 gram of fat provides 9 kilocalories). But ethanol can neither be converted into fat, nor any substance such as sugar or glycogen that can increase weight (fat). Ethanol itself cannot be stored in the body, it is always preferentially metabolized into energy (and water and carbon dioxide). Therefore, as long as you drink alcohol, pay attention not to consume high-fat, high-energy foods, and eat less food to control the total energy intake, you can avoid the growth of "beer belly" or gain weight.
