The assessment of compliance with the Bolivian standards on the labels of fermented and distilled alcoholic beverages in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra - Bolivia, started in March and ended in December 2011, was taken as the supermarket Hipermaxi population located in 4th Avenue two-way ring to La Guardia, and wholesale stores that sell alcoholic beverages located on the 2nd ring February 26th Avenue, between Avenue Grigotá and Charagua street from Ramada Market. Guides were prepared for observation and recording verification of compliance on the labels of fermented alcoholic beverages: Wine with the names "Campos de Solana, Porto, Kohlberg, Viñas de Balbo, Aranjuez", and distilled alcoholic beverages: singanis named "San Pedro, Three Stars, Casa Real, Rujero, Los Parrales". And Ron tradenames "Cuban, Caribbean, Pampeño, Solera, Kayana gold" by the subsequent data analysis, allow us to present the following conclusion: 100% of the content of information provided labels fermented alcoholic drinks (Wine) and distilled (Ron and Singani) that are sold in the supermarket "Hipermaxi" wholesale market and shops "the Ramada" of the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, not fully comply with the requirements referred to in the Rules Bolivian. All aspects studied lead us to conclude that there is a breach of labeling of the drinks trade names evaluated, this makes it clear that these are products that do not pass through a strict quality check on compliance with existing standards, and the contents therein may be adulterated and cause damage, which becomes a danger to the health of the population.
