There are nutrition labels on alcohol in Europe, but people there drink as much as here.

Europe drinks way more alcohol than North America

Excerpt from the article:

If you feel that Europeans drink a lot, your hunch is correct: people across the continent consume more alcohol than in any other part of the world. Each year in Europe, every person aged 15 and over consumes, on average, 9.5 litres of pure alcohol, which is equivalent to around 190 litres of beer, 80 litres of wine or 24 litres of spirits. Thatโ€™s according to the 2021 European health report by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Yup, just checked my beer. Lists ingredients and calories. In 2 langauges!

The cans of beer that I buy have ingredients and nutrition info like a soda can does.

Haven't seen any on liquor bottles though.

I don't have any liquor bottles, but my wine bottles have ingredients info, but no nutrition info.

Depends on from where they were sourced.

My Itallian red wine has nutritional info, French sourced white wine has nutritional info, American sourced red wine has nothing.

A short search states that the US doesnt have to have labels on alcohol because it's not regulated by the FDA.

In Canada beer alcohol isn't required to have nutritional info.
