We urge that all alcoholic beverage containers list the serving size, calories per serving, alcohol content per serving, and the definition of a standard drink.
Information on labels is essential because there are many myths surrounding alcoholic beverages that confuse and mislead consumers. For example, people often think that beer is less alcoholic than a shot of whiskey or that alcoholic drinks generally contain more calories than non-alcoholic drinks. The facts are otherwise.
Consumers both want and need nutritional label information on the calories, carbs, and fat contained in what they eat and drink.
