    Article states "Beer, of course, contains wheat or barley which inflames the conditions of celiac disease." huh? Why should beer makes be made to put ingredients on their labels if beer is something that people with celiacs disease shouldn't be drinking in the first place? If you have celiacs disease the last thing in the world you should be looking at is the ingredients on a bottle of beer.

    You consume beer just like food, and in fact good beer is food. So no reason to exempt it. Same with wine. It's just the manufacturers of shit beer and wine don't want you to know about all the crap they put in it. And label the calories, same as with Coke. But of course that might reduce sales, and fuck the public.
