ABLA also contains a declaration of policy and purpose, stating that the United States Congress found it
The American public should be informed of the health hazards that may be caused by consumption or abuse of alcoholic beverages, and have decided that it will be useful to provide clear and harmless reminders against such hazards, and that there is a need for national uniformity. in such reminder to avoid misleading or misleading information dissemination and to minimize the burden on inter-state trade.
