Aren't most bitters 30-40%? Have to check my collection of various bitters when I get home. I know for sure that actual vanilla extract is usually 15%+

Edit: also it's always bothered me the angostura has the label go so far above the start of the bottle's neck

Yeah, but LLB only uses a few drops of bitters and so only contains trace amounts of alcohol.

Medically, a couple dashes of bitters is irrelevant. But people often don't drink for philosophical, religious, or recovery reasons. For these people, zero means zero.

Non alcoholic bitters are available. They're made with a glycerin base.

Sooooo....probably shouldn't be drinking directly from the bottle should I?

My throat puckered up when I read this.
