Does alcohol increase fats?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Alcohol: Alcohol calories are usually carbohydrates. But these are unneeded and not nutritional carbohydrates. So, when the liver sees this much sugar they make triglycerides, or fat storage molecules. Thus this sugar is made into fats that can be dangerous.

Alcohol as fat.: Alcohol is interesting in this regard, as it's technically a carbohydrate but has a caloric density similar to fat, so drinking too much alcohol can make one gain weight.
