Food labeling requirements are thanks to the Food and Drug Administration, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. But alcohol regulation is covered by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which is part of the Department of the Treasury.

Every gram of alcohol has 7 calories in it, making alcohol a big source of empty calories. Consumers should have the information available to make informed choices on the alcohol they consume, allowing them to make better low-calorie choices. Bring alcohol under the purview of the FDA and let's make it happen.
