Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(How come alcohol doesn't have a nutrition label?),it will help you,my kids.
I can go to the grocery store and find a nutrition lable on any food or beverage, except for alcohol. I mean, even a bottle of water has a nutrition label on the back, and it lists a "0" in all of the categories! The most simple and obious response is "well, there isn't any nutrition in alcohol." This may be true, but don't you think people might want to know how many calories are in a shot of Jack, or how many carbs are in a shot of Captain? Right now, the only nutritional guidance I can get from a bottle of booze is "don't drink and drive" and "don't drink while pregnant."
Answers:
As another answerer informs you there are a few countries that do require nutrition labeling on booze. And indeed, in the USA there is a small category where it is also required: wines (including hard cider) of 6.9% alcohol or less. Do to an oversight in the post-Prohibition US Federal alcohol law these wound up under FDA, not BATF, regulations. You can check it out when you next go to your favorite alcoholic beverage retailer.
By the way, many alcoholic beverages, especially some wines
and rich malt beverages, do have notable nutrition.
Other Answers:
Becasue it is a drug and not a food. Drugs do not have to have ingrediant lists like food.
Cuz it's not good for you Because what is allowed on an alcohol label is strictly regulated and only what is specified as permitted can appear. Nutrition wordingis not specified, thus it cannot appear.

BECAUSE THERE ARE NO NUTRIENTS THERE ARE JUST CALORIES AND THAT IS WHY IT IS CONSIDERED A DRUG NOT FOOD
It is not a food, so, it is not required.That's what I noticed. Apparently, from these posters, alcohol is a drug and not a food. You can find nutrition labels on alcohol in some countries outside of the USA... but I take it you didn't read the article in the papers about nutrition labels... At least 80% of people look at labels, but over 40% still buy the items anyways. Most of the goody-goody people that buy the stuff anyways don't drink beer and alcohol because they know it is bad for you. I don't know anyone, not a single one, that would decide not to buy an alcoholic drink based in ingredients.
