You have the knowledge in the back of your mind. The warnings make you have it in active thought.

What kind of manipulative power trip behavior control bullshit logic is this?

Do you truly believe consumers usually/always make rational and reasonable decisions, that don’t go against their own interests?

Who the fuck cares? I decide how I live my life. If you want to wear bubble wrap and consume nothing but distilled water and unflavored soy bean paste so you can totally live forever and never need medical treatment, have at.

I'd rather live.

How would warnings stop you from that? It's informative text, it can't hurt you. Not any more than the alcohol itself.

sounds like regulatory capture to me: increase the bar to establish a brand so that only established brands dominate the market place. laws are bad and there should only be fewer of them.

....how does that apply to labels

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago

if I only needed to scrawl an abv and my signature on my wine before, and now I need a printed label, my cost increases.
