The European Parliament is debating if nutritional contents should be added to alcoholic drink labels.
All other mass-produced drinks and foods require such labeling... but not if alcoholic (1.2% or more by volume). Why the liquor exemption? The big-business drinks lobby provides lots of political 'donations' to grease their perspective...
There seems no good reason to keep us in the dark about calories & additives, and many reasons we should know (such as rising obesity & dietary restrictions) what's inside the stuff we could consume.
Conditions are much worse in the USA, where even alcohol percentages are hidden.
Pretty packaging hides dangers. Knowledge is Power!
