Dear U.S.  TTB,

I noticed that everything I buy, down to bottles of water and packs of gum, all have labels containing information on calories, carbs, protein and fat. As a beer drinker, I also quickly noticed that the only packaged food or drink that doesn't have any Serving Facts label of any kind is beer, or for that matter any kind of alcohol. It doesn't even tell me how much alcohol is in a serving. That doesn't make any sense to me.

I want to know more about what I'm putting into my body when I choose to have a beer. It is ridiculous to prohibit the companies that make the products from putting this information on their products if they want to. You have the power to remedy the situation. Please do so.

Thank you for attention to this issue.


Sincerely,

Chris Paczkowski
