Fed: Beer, wine should have fat and sugar labels: Survey

A new survey says young Australians want alcoholic drinks to carry labels .. listing
their ingredients and fat and sugar content.

A study of almost six thousand 500 university students has revealed more than three-quarters
want comprehensive labelling for beer .. wine and other beverages.

Public health researchers behind the project say the findings strengthen the argument
to force manufacturers to disclose the same information offered on soft drink and juice
bottles.

The results were published in the Medical Journal of Australia.
