Labeling Description

Alcohol labeling rules under the NH Liquor Commission may be a good best practices guide. In general, the prohibition against illustrations, subject matter, or other attributes that are consistent with products marketed towards children and youths matches up with most other state rules. See, e.g., Emergency Rule Liquor Comm'n 506.09 (https://gov.liquorandwineoutlets.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/COVER-SHEET-FOR-EMERGENCY-RULE-LIQ-506.09.pdf)
