I know that other elements in alcoholic beverages have calories, but does the alcohol itself have calories? If so, is it a carbohydrate, protein or fat?

Alcohol has calories, and lots of them. Here is a good article discussion how alcohol is metabolized and giving a rundown of the caloric value of different alcoholic drinks.

Jeffrey P is spot on with his answer. Just wanted to add that it's a Carbohydrate.

yes, but a small trick is to drink so much that you puke, then you purge all those nasty calories
