Alcohol Labelling Bill - New Rules for Drink Labels

This bill creates new rules about what information must appear on alcohol product labels. It requires alcoholic drinks to show health warnings, ingredient lists, and nutritional information on their packaging. The bill covers all types of alcohol sold in shops, pubs, and restaurants across the UK. Drinks companies would need to print warnings about health risks, list what ingredients are used, and show details like calories and sugar content. The government says this will help people make informed choices about drinking. Some alcohol industry groups say the new labelling requirements could increase costs for producers and retailers. The bill would apply to imported alcohol as well as drinks made in the UK.
