This whole thread seems to be some sort of "retro pre-internet" 20 year
old thread. MOST of the US beers I see these days have alcohol content
listed on the label (and it happened quietly and without much fanfare,
IIRC)- I didn't realize that it was still a state-by-state thing.

Most American beers? I remain skeptical.

It's less of a state-by-state thing, but that's a recent development. It's
only in the last couple years that the Supreme Court weighed in saying that
states can't prohibit the display of that info, as some did. Or the bureau
formerly known as the ATF. Can't remember whose rule was struck down, the
states' or theirs.

But, since I take it the Submarine Captain isn't in the US, one can't
expect him to know this.

He's Swiss.
