The fact that wine and beer bottles are exempt from those Nutrition Facts labels is utter nonsense.

If people knew how much sugar and calories are in their drink maybe they would think twice

I was drinking a while claw with my mother-in-law, and reflected that 100 calories was pretty good.

She responded she preferred her normal vodka sodas because they have 0 calories...

Zero calories? 100 g of 60 % vodka is 370 calories

90 cal a shot is my usual quick math. Clearly not my mother in law's.

There are nutrition labels on alcohol in Europe, but people there drink as much as here.

Europe drinks way more alcohol than North America

Excerpt from the article:

If you feel that Europeans drink a lot, your hunch is correct: people across the continent consume more alcohol than in any other part of the world. Each year in Europe, every person aged 15 and over consumes, on average, 9.5 litres of pure alcohol, which is equivalent to around 190 litres of beer, 80 litres of wine or 24 litres of spirits. That’s according to the 2021 European health report by the World Health Organization (WHO).
