Why dont alcoholic beverages have labels like food and over-the-counter drugs?
For more than thirty years, consumer groups including the National Consumers League and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) have petitioned the government, filed lawsuits and testified before Congress urging the federal government to require useful labels on alcoholic beverages. The federal agency responsible the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)- and its predecessor agency, have spent those thirty years trying to decide if alcohol labeling that would disclose important information for consumers is really necessary.
