REAL MEN (& WOMEN) OF GENIUS
Just how light is "light" beer?
A new rule has been proposed that would require nutritional information be put on all alcoholic drink packaging, including alcoholic content, number of calories, carbohydrates, fat and protein for a standard serving size.
Currently, labels on liquor and wine with more than 14 percent alcohol must disclose at least the alcohol content, but it is not required on beer labels in most states.
Under the new proposal, if a brewer wants its beer to be labeled as light, it must show the caloric and alcohol content.
But don't fret.
It may be some time before companies are forced to comply with the proposed regulation since the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau first must gather comments on the proposed rule and then review them. It could take up to three years before the rule is official.
In the meantime beer bellies, chugalug without guilt.
