When you buy alcohol, the person selling it to you must follow some rules. These rules are made under a part of the law called section 397. The rules can say that the seller must show you information about the alcohol.

This information can be about how much ethanol is in different types of alcohol. It can also be about the bad things that can happen to you if you drink alcohol. This includes bad things that can happen to anyone, or to certain people, or in certain situations.
