Summary

Alcoholic Beverage Labeling Act Amendment - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to deem an alcoholic beverage misbranded if it consists of more than 24 percent alcohol by volume and does not bear a health warning on its label, labeling, and advertising. Requires such health warning to state that use of such product may cause sickness or death, impair driving ability, create dependence or addiction, and harm the unborn during pregnancy. Requires the label to state that legal age is required for purchase.
