Nutritional Facts on Alcholic drinks, where are they?
 

This has been bugging me for a long time.

Out of all the myriad of things we eat and drink and buy at the grovery store that is prepackaged alcoholic beverages seem to be the only thing without Nutritional Facts on either the individual containers (cans/bottles) or the boxes they come in. With a bit of research on google I found out how much would be in standard beer and shots of rum, whiskey and vodka here: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcom.../hg72_2002.pdf
on page 20

which is both less and more than I expected however I cannot find an explanation as to why there are no labels on the items.

My conspiracy side says its prob cuz the alcohol companies lobbied not to for some reason but still. any ideas?

I've noticed this as well, thanks for the link!

P.S. If you're on a diet, stay off the booze, look at those calories!!

Thanks for the link.

If your on a diet stay close to Gin, Vodka, and other white spirits (except for Rum). They have the least carbs (read sugar).

On to the subject of Beers if you stick to German and I think Belgium beers you pretty much know whats in them. By law they are only allowed to have certain ingredients, unfortunately because of the wine I am unable to recite them at the moment (help from anyone welcome).
