Dear U.S.  TTB,

As a responsible citizen and a responsible alcohol drinker, I don't know why in the U.S. distillers, brewers and vintners are not allowed to put standard drinks information on their bottles.
I believe this information should be provided on alcohol beverage packages, and I believe there are many others like me who want that information readily available.

Most people do not confine themselves to only drinking beer, wine or spirits, and alcohol beverages these days are sold in an increasingly broad variety of formulations. The lack of consistency in choice of drink, container sizes, and alcohol concentrations all contribute to the confusion over what is considered a "standard drink."

I urge you to modify this rule and have alcohol companies put Serving Facts labels on all their products.

Thank you very much for your consideration.


Sincerely,
