Why alcoholic drinks have nutrition facts?

Alcoholic drinks do not have nutrition facts because they are not considered a significant or regular source of dietary energy. Nutrition facts panels are typically required for food items that provide substantial caloric intake and meet certain criteria set by regulatory agencies. Since alcoholic beverages primarily provide calories from alcohol rather than essential nutrients, they are generally exempt from providing detailed nutrition information.

Nevertheless, some countries or regions may have specific voluntary guidelines or recommendations for providing limited nutrition information on alcoholic beverages, such as calorie content or alcohol by volume (ABV). However, these regulations can vary by jurisdiction, and not all alcoholic products may display comprehensive nutrition facts panels.
