I found these with google...

Beer is regualted by the ATF (Alchohol Tobacco and Firearms). Throw in gambling, and hookers and we have a party. Not the FDA (food and drug administration) So it is not food, at least according to the US Gov't.

In one way I wish the nutritional info was on the bottles but I guess ignorance is bliss... and has a lot more calories.

I always though it was the BMC lobbyists trying to hide the fact that they put more than just water, malt, hops, and yeast in their product. They would have to include all those scary additives as well.

I'm sure that's a big part of it....think of all the "purity" marketing the various ones use....it wouldn't be so pure if you found out they stabilize with sorbital or something.

I remember years ago it was the French who opposed labels on their wine bottles...beer companies got on that band wagon fast too.

Reportedly, the reason was is that they would have to list ingredients that they don't want you to know the contents.

It's not what they tell you that should scare you, but what they DON'T tell you that you should really know.
