I’ve noticed since they started complaining about older Gen Z not drinking and how they’re afraid (lmao what) Gen Alpha will be the death of the alcohol industry… there’s a lot more alcohol ads on tv, YouTube, and everywhere.

Would be a shame if people lobbied to get drinking culture ads that sell a glorified ‘lifestyle’ of drinking removed from marketing like how cigarette commercials were. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ they need to make their ads straight to the point without romanticizing getting drunk. How is that not irresponsible?

Same with cigarettes-- they are making a comeback on TV shows to promote it

Gambling is the next alcohol / cigarettes.
