Really the only thing it can interfere with is the branding/marketing/advertising of the labels. But Coke and Pepsi seemed to make do just fine.<br /><br />I drink weekly with multiple people who do in fact select beers based on calorie (or carb) count, including myself. If you don't care, then don't read the label, just keep drinking whatever you prefer, or be a contrarian and pick the one with the highest number, or whatever. Why would it matter if it's on there?<br />If it does, maybe they could just put it on the cardboard packaging and leave it off the bottles or cans.<br /><br />I assume labeling beer would be good for Guinness, anyway. :)JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786414234275458854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441964287069378605.post-60520519098418324722011-01-24T11:34:46.202-08:002011-01-24T11:34:46.202-08:00I'm sorry, Ed...

Do those college kids check the keg's label to make sure it's low cal? I'd go way out on a line and say that most bars, not specialty bars, but most bars sell the cheap beer more often than some "hoity-toity" specially engineered lite.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175891799765128931noreply@blogger.com
