USA may take a lesson from Sweden, Norway and Finland. They restrict alcohol advertising on television. There are few societies in USA which earlier tried to ban the price advantage promotion of alcohol (call it happy hours) in the major restaurants, joints and bars. But they were mostly local drives and did not snowball into a movement.
Universities and academic institutions are always been concerned about binge drinking and alcohol abuse. The role of alcohol and rape and domestic violence is well established and you don’t need any poll for that.
Most schools and universities don’t allow alcohol in the stadium but funnily the same fans see a lot of beer advertisements inside the stadium. That needs to be cheeked. So the rewarding alcohol ad contract between brewery and concerned departments of universities/schools first need to be checked.
Advertising increases alcohol consumption, which increases alcohol abuse….right? WRONG.
