“…Mandatory nutritional information on alcoholic drinks such as energy, or calorie labelling, is a population-level public health measure aimed at addressing obesity and alcohol consumption ( Maynard et al ., 2018 ; Robinson et al ., 2021a ). It is based on the premise that providing standardized information is a consumer right that will enhance awareness and knowledge, support consumers in making ‘informed choices’ on food and alcohol intake, and in turn improve health through encouraging the selection of lower calorie options, reduced alcohol consumption and changes in diet and exercise ( Clarke et al , 2021a ; Robinson et al ., 2021b ).…”

“…Furthermore, exploratory analyses suggested that in the whole sample, the 77% of participants who went on to purchase differed in their demographic and drinking characteristics—they tended to be older, more educated and self‐reported drinking less alcohol. The only comparable evidence to date on calorie purchasing comes predominantly from food and soft drink studies where a Cochrane Review—currently being updated [ 44 ]—identified limited evidence suggesting small effects on purchasing, but with considerable uncertainty [ 18 ]. There was no evidence for an effect of calorie labels when they were combined with health warning labels.…”

“…Regardless of whether or not labelling can elicit meaningful effects on behaviour, information on calories can enable people to accurately estimate calorie intake from drinks [ 57 ] and appears to be highly acceptable to the public. It may also lead to indirect impacts, for example by encouraging industry and supermarkets to increase the availability or promotion of lower calorie alternatives [ 44 , 58 , 59 ].…”
