You make a very good point, jessikate, but I must respectfully point out that 
it's a bit naive to hope that people in this day and age are going to be 
accountable for anything.  One of the reasons I didn't become a bartender a 
few years back is that during my training they placed heavy emphasis on the 
fact that bartenders can be held responsible for what their patrons do after 
leaving the bar if they're drunk.  While I'm sure that this rarely comes up 
(I'll have to start a thread on that to see what you guys have to say), I felt 
that I shouldn't have to be responsible for anyone else's bad drinking 
decisions.

Frankly, if people want warnings on the bottles then fine... put them there.  
But no one should believe that anyone else out there, whether it be the 
distilleries, the government or whoever, should be looking out for you.  
That's your job.
