One area where alcohol could be improved is by requiring food labels. Just how much sugar and calories are in your drink? Finding answers to this is a bit opaque, so having a bit more transparency would be great.
- nivenkos 4y agoThis. It's crazy in the UK where normal drinks have to have it, but alcoholic ones are exempt.
- SonicScrub 4y agoCanada as well. It leads to the absurd scenario where non-alcoholic beverages like de-alcoholized wine can sometimes appear less healthy when side by side with the normal stuff on the shelves.
- nerdponx 4y agoI'd also like to see ingredients lists in general. Why is alcohol exempt?
- ozmodiar 4y agoYes! As a diabetic I'm always annoyed that they don't even try to print the carbs on the label. I don't get why alcohol gets a pass when other food and drink have to.
- WalterBright 4y agoAren't alcoholic drinks required to label their percent of alcohol?
- mrguyorama 4y agoInterestingly, some alcoholic beverages in the US now have nutrition facts labels. I don't know if there was a rule change or if they saw the writing on the wall and wanted to opt in to a crappier version to try and delay any rule change or if it was part of the marketing push a few years ago to imply their brand was the only brand with "natural" ingredients or other nonsense. I don't think I've seen a hard alcohol with that label.
- fIREpOK 4y agoWhen they have an alcohol-free version, I believe that you can find some more information on them (but of course it probably somewhat differs).
