You meant to ask, how much sugar is needed to produce certain amount of alcohol?
Here's a detailed lookup table:
http://www.brsquared.org/wine/CalcInfo/HydSugAl.htm
Note that there are 5 common formulas of conversion to lookup from PA1 to PA5. My favorite is UCDavis formula calculation, PA5.
For example, looking under the PA 5 column, and if the alcohol content is 13.4%, then the sugar that was used to completely ferment to that level would have been 2 lbs 4 oz per gallon of liquid.
Fermentation itself is complex, there are many losses here and there, and depends on types of yeast, nutrients, initial concentration of sugar, temperature, etc, and not all sugars gets converted over to alcohol. The formula given in the tables are very good empirical fit.

Alcohol is a chemical compound, as is sugar - and they're different. Alcohol has no sugar in it. Alcoholic DRINKS, however, can have lots of sugar in them. Just taste: if it's sweet, it has sugar in it. If it's not, it has little or no sugar.
As JCobb points out, both alcohol and sugar have a caloric value, so there's calories in an alcoholic drink even with no sugar. Very roughly speaking, 1.5 ounces of a typical liquor (80 proof, 40% alcohol) has about as many calories as two thirds of an ounce of sugar.

look for the amount of carbs on the label. That and sugar listing will give you a fair idea. You can get a ballpark in calories by figuring a 12 oz beer worth 125 cals., a 6 ounce wine the same and a one ounce hard liquor drink also the same. If dieting is what your edging at then don't drink at all.If diabetes is a concern, then don't drink at all.

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and acts as a mild anesthetic and tranquilizer. It is toxic in large quantities.
Alcohol is considered a "macronutrient" in that it provides energy. Energy is measured in calories, and alcohol has about 7 calories per gram. The calories obtained from alcohol are considered to be "empty" because alcohol contains no beneficial nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals.
One-half ounce of pure alcohol, the amount in a 1-ounce shot (2 tablespoons) of liquor, contains approximately 80 to 90 calories. Carbonated beverages or fruit juices contribute additional calories when mixed with alcohol in a cocktail.
Alcohol content of various alcohol-containing beverages:
"Proof" is the alcohol content of distilled liquors. It is the percentage of alcohol (by volume) multiplied by two. For example:
100-proof alcohol = 50% alcohol
200-proof alcohol = 100% alcohol
The alcohol content of wine is given as a percentage. White wines average 12%, and red wines are around 14%.
The alcohol content of beer is between 3% and 8%. "Light" or lower-calorie beers have fewer calories and are closer to 3% alcohol content. Liqueurs, such as sherry and dessert liqueurs contain 40% to 50% alcohol and tend to be higher in calories.
In terms of alcohol content, 12 oz beer = 5 oz glass of wine = 1 1/2 oz liquor.

Liquor is very low in sugar. When fermenting the sugar is turned into alcohol. Even with beer the sugar is low per serving ,just be moderate

10 grams of sugar per ounce on average which would be about
4 calories per gram.
1 ounce is 28 grams
4 x 28 = 112 calories an ounce from sugar.

Alcohol is fermented sugar which is why it is high in calories. It is the liquors which have added sugar to them.
