Since calorie is a measure of energy, so what does it mean when, for example, alcohol, having “empty calories”? What kind of energy is being measured here?

“Empty calories” means the food or drink gives you energy but doesn’t have much nutritional value. Like candy or soda, they give you quick energy but don’t have vitamins, minerals, or proteins your body needs. So, it’s like filling your car with low-quality gas; it’ll run, but it won’t perform at its best.
