Dear U.S.  TTB,

Please accept this letter in response to your Notice Number 41 regarding alcohol serving facts panels.

This seems like a no-brainer to me! I read the labels on everything I buy, why wouldn't I want to know more about the alcohol beverages I drink!

And, since alcohol beverages are sold in an increasingly broad variety of formulations, container sizes and alcohol strengths, I'd like information that will help me better understand what constitutes a "standard drink."

I believe this is an issue of common sense and I am sure most consumers would agree.

Please allow alcohol beverage companies to include this basic information on their packages.

Thank you very much.


Sincerely,

Monte Walker
