All have calories... alcohol beverages, in fact, are chock full of empty calories that provide absolutely no nutrition.
As for carbs, hard alcohol has none. Wine has a moderate amount... about the same as light beers. The low-carb beers are almost identical in carb content to light beer, by the way. Beer contains the most carbs... about twice or more that that of wine or light beer.
The sad fact, though, is that any alcoholic beverage will make you gain weight. The body absorbs alcohol first, then fat, protein, and carbs. You get the calories regardless and all of them make it harder to lose weight, regardless of what certain diets tell you. Remember that your body will convert all of those empty calories into fat and store them for later.
Wine is probably the best thing to drink since it actually contributes to health somewhat. The heart benefits are generally accepted now, while others maintain that it contains plenty of anti-oxidants. A few glasses a week aren't going to hurt you that much. Hard alcohol is probably the worst... not only does it have a higher alcohol content (and higher calories), but you also get the calories from whatever it's is being mixed with.
Hope that helps!

There is no liquor that has no carbs or calories. Beer and wine have some carbs (not much), but any other type of liquor won't have carbs. Bacardi has some lo-cal liquors on the market (have you seen the commercials with Kim Cattrall from "Sex and the City"?) but there is no way to get an alcoholic beverage with no calories because alcohol is 7 calories per gram.
P.S.: Blah is mistaken -- Bacardi clear is not calorie-free.

Alcohol itself is actually pretty high in calories (per unit weight) which means there is no such thing as an alcoholic beverage that doesn't have any calories, even if nothing else that can be digested is added, the alcohol itself still contributes significantly.

Alcohol has 6 calories per gram. No escaping calories. Be a man or woman about it and wake up early in the morning after partying and burn it off doing some cardio.

Rum,
If you must drink alcohol, wine is an acceptable addition to levels beyond the Induction diet. If wine does not suit your taste, straight liquor such as scotch, rye, vodka, and gin would be appropriate, as long as the mixer is sugarless

The clear Bicardi doesn't have any carbs or calories. It's pretty good with Coke Zero.

no such thing. Bacardi light has like 40 calories, that's pretty low (about as low as it gets). If you don't want any calories, though, you shouldn't drink.

Umph don't think you're gonna find one, BUT if you drink it it's said not to mix with sugary sodas that helps. Guess you have to be a straight alchi
