Why is there no nutritional info on beer/alcohol products?!


Question: Why is there no nutritional info on beer/alcohol products!?
American standards require that nutritional info is listed on all pre-packaged foods/beverages that we consume-except alcohol!. Why aren't they required to list calories, sodium content, etc on beer and alcohol!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There's actually rumblings that before too long their will be!. The argument against it is that if you put "nutritional" labels on alcohol that people would get the idea in their head that drinking is healthy!. This is both true and false but special interests groups have made damn sure they make booze look as bad as possible!. Why have a nutritional label when you can have a friendly reminder from the Surgeon General that you're slowly dying!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can still find it, LOL

because you cant diet on beer etc!.
people who need to read all nutritional info like patients with diabetes for an example, are advised not to drink alcohol products!.
so if you are limited on amount of intake on a certant ingredient, i advise not to drink it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I wish I knew! I think it's something the drink manufacturers worked out with the politicians!. Or maybe the idea was, not to encourage people to drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Alcohol products are not foods, so they are not under the same rules as normal foods and drinks!. The laws were never created which require all those nutritional facts!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because the liquor lobbyists are better than the meat and dairy lobbyists!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

cuz you don't wanna know!
ha!.
i don't know the real answer, but am curious!. good question!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
