A 12oz Bud Light has less fat, calories & carbs than a 8oz carton of 2% lowfat milk.

How come nutritional information is never placed on beer/wine/liquor containers?

Becuase it is not required by law. I wish it was though.
Interesting trivia: in PA it is illegal to put the alcohol content of beer on the label. I guess they figure we will buy the beer with the most booze in it LOL. |

Some "ice" beers and malt liquors have the alcohol content on the labels. I think it should be the law the the AC MUST be on the label, the same as hard liqour. Then we would have proof that coors light is a non alcoholic beverage LOL. |

It is required NOT TO BE placed there by law -- or BATF decree, anyway. BATF has hauled companies into court for daring to inform the consumer about such stuff. |

I was referring to the nutritional information, not the alcohol content. I mean like fat, calories, servings, etc. You know-- the basic FDA requirements... |

Check it out...Bavarian Brewers wrote the first consumer protection law protecting how they make beer...its from the 1800's...and is still in effect!!! It was a beef when all this EU community stuff came up...Bavarian flatly refused to lower that standards on their brewing processes!!! With that I think I'll go have myself a cold one.....

I do not remember where I read this but...The FDA originally wanted nutrition labels on everything....beer was seen as Too Healthy and the FDA did not want to be seen as endorsing beer
