Most liquors (at 40% alcohol) will average 100 cal per 1.5 oz shot. plus whatever your mix is.

How do you prevent putting on weight? The same way you prevent putting weight with food - a little restraint. If you consume 6 drinks count on 600 + empty calories.

Having said that, if you're otherwise sticking to your numbers (assuming you've planned a 500 cal/day deficit) you end up a little over maintenance each day.
