Yes and Yes.
Alcohol of any sort contains sugar,depending on the type and severity of your diabetes alcohol could be more damaging to you than drinking a regular soft drink and a lot of alcohol can kill you,very slowly,very painfully but almost always very surely
Most carbohydrates have about 4 calories per gram. Alcohol is a sugar too, but it has about 7 calories per gram.
Accordingly, just increase the amount of insulin you take by 75% whenever you're on a bender. Wheeeeee
