The American beer I'm drinking right now (no, it's not a lite beer) contains the following information:
Percent alcohol by volume
Calories
Carbohydrates
Protein
Fat
Seems like the info in the first link is wrong. I'm confused.

Something fishy is going on here...
Diageo, the mega-corp behind the claims that the TTB makes it illegal to provide such info on the labels of alcohol, is a giant conglomerate buying up as many brands as possible.

There are allegations that they have already been peddling inferior booze under the brand of more expensive stuff, which makes their concern over truth in labelling seem even less genuine.
"The whisky industry breathed a sigh of relief in March 2004, after Diageo said its Cardhu Pure Malt - introduced to replace Cardhu single malt, due to concerns it could not produce enough of that to satisfy an expanding international market - would be removed from shelves by the end of the year.
The move was seen as the company's admission that marketing the whisky as a pure malt, when it came from more than one distillery, was a mistake.
Critics claimed Diageo's decision to sell the controversial whisky in bottles almost identical to the single malt brand would confuse drinkers and damage the multi-million pound sector.
Under industry guidelines, the brand should have been marketed as a vatted malt."
