[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1624891, member: 438800"] Here in America, the reasons are complex, but it started post-Prohibition when regulation of alcohol was entrusted to a different agency -- not the same agency that regulates food. The good news is that the big U.S. brewers agreed a year or two back to start listing nutritional information (including carbs and caolries) on beer bottles and cans, on a voluntary basis ([URL]https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/07/21/486758216/beer-bottles-will-soon-include-a-reality-check-a-calorie-count[/URL]). I am not sure whether that has happened yet (I do not drink American beer, on the whole). During the Obama administration, there was also a proposed rule that [I]restaurants[/I] must provide some nutritional information for everything on the menu, including booze. I am not sure what happened to that (and have not noticed any change in the menus). Even if it was enacted, chances are the current administration will reverse it! [/QUOTE]
