Under CEI's petition, brewers not only could tout the benefits of moderate consumption on beer labels, they would have the option of defining "moderate" and recommending consumers seek the advice of a physician. It should make interesting reading for beer drinkers, if the beer label contains both a message on the benefits of moderate drinking and the health warning required by federal law.
