There are nutrition labels on alcohol in Europe, but people there drink as much as here.
Europe drinks way more alcohol than North America
Excerpt from the article:
24 litres of spirits is about 4 bottles of whiskey or vodka every 3 weeks.
That does seem like a lot to me.
In beer form, it's a bout a pint per day. Not too bad actually. I probably average close to that, since I'll have a can of beer most nights, and a few pints and/or cocktails on weekends.
That does not sound bad at all actually
Kind of high food an average still, but an individual doing that won’t be terrible.
It's so relative. That sounds terrible to me. I however might drink 5 drinks a year.
wouldn't that come out as 2 bottles per month?
750ml is the typical size of a bottle, so it would be more like 32 bottles per year, or 2.67 bottles per month.
True, one of my neighbour drank 1 bottle of wine at diner and 1 at supper, he died of cirrhosis of liver at around 60 though.
Yup, just checked my beer. Lists ingredients and calories. In 2 langauges!
The cans of beer that I buy have ingredients and nutrition info like a soda can does.
Haven't seen any on liquor bottles though.
I don't have any liquor bottles, but my wine bottles have ingredients info, but no nutrition info.
Depends on from where they were sourced.
My Itallian red wine has nutritional info, French sourced white wine has nutritional info, American sourced red wine has nothing.
A short search states that the US doesnt have to have labels on alcohol because it's not regulated by the FDA.
In Canada beer alcohol isn't required to have nutritional info.
