What effect do calories from alcohol have?

[MattN]

This is something I have always wondered about. what happens to a gram of alcohol when it gets into your system. can the energy from alcohol be used in the gym? obviously in an amount that isnt intoxicating. is it converted into anything?
I really hope this isnt a stupid question!
