What role do alcoholic beverages play in weight gain?!

Question: I have heard that alcohol is considered "empty" calories, but I am curious as to what role alcoholic beverages play in weight gain. If you exercise 5-6 days per week and eat right 6 days out of the week (kind of slack off one day per week), will alcohol alone cause weight gain?

Alcohol dehydrates you which in turn makes you want to drink more or sodas and eat more to fix the craving.

calories are calories, and booze has lots of them. Do the math.
