I am on a cut but I still like to have a few drinks with the lads on the weekend. The problem is that alcohol has 7 calories per gram but it is not really a carb or a fat. How do you guys track this in your apps?

I have heard some people subtract the calories from their carb goal and others subtract from their fat goal. Does it really matter as long as the total calories are the same? I am trying to stay disciplined without being a hermit.

If I have three pints of Guinness how should I log that to stay within my macros? I do not want to ruin a whole week of progress because of one night out in London. Any tips for managing the munchies after drinking would also be great.
