To determine the grams of alcohol, we need to know the number of calories per gram of alcohol, which is 7. For Option A, dividing by 4 would give the number of grams of carbohydrates or protein, not alcohol. For Option B, multiplying by 4 would give the number of calories per gram of carbohydrate, not alcohol. For Option D, multiplying by 9 would give the number of calories in 1 gram of fat, not alcohol. Therefore, the correct choice is C, which divides the total calories by the calories per gram of alcohol.
