Nutrition labels coming to alcoholic drinks?

Are those helpful (and tricky) "Nutrition Facts" labels headed to an alcoholic container near you? Possibly, if the U.S. Treasury Department gets its way. It's interesting here that the U.S. Treasury Department is the organization considering this, and not a food-related federal department.

That federal department is considering a new rule that would require companies to put content, serving sizes and related nutrition information on alcoholic drink packaging.

Since drinks from beer to wine to spirits do contain calories and do have an affect on the human body (duh!), this makes sense I believe. Are you for it? Do you really want to know how many calories are in those beer bottles?
