Depends on the mix: Sugar content in alcoholic drinks is dependent on the mixer. Bartenders use liquid bar sugar to sweeten drinks. Orange juice has about 24 g of sugar per cup pomegranate juice has 35 g. Without the mixers, distilled liquor has no sugar or carbohydrates. Beer has no sugar but does contain carbs. A glass of wine has 3-5 g of sugar liqueurs like kahlua have sugar added 11g per ounce.

The mixer: Alcohol is 7 calories/gram, so the one with the most alcohol has the most calories -- however, they are not sugar. That is found in the mixer, such as soft drinks, fruit juice and the like -- plus all the food you consume while you're drinking.
