I’m in recovery and ever commercial is “the bold refreshing taste of uncle berry lemon twist vodka. Having a bad day? Drink this. You know you want to. Drink it Michael! please drink responably

Every ad portrays drinking as a party, and your in a pool throwing a beach ball with your friends, and your ex Chrissy finally admits she was wrong. It’s an unrealistically positive. If you drink Tito’s your father in law will finally grow close to you. It’s not Christmas without even Williams egg nog!

There is no safe amount of alcohol to drink. It is like cigarettes, entirely bad for you.

I’m not saying don’t sell it but why is every add for booze being blasted every. Especially to me because the algorithm knows I’m an alcoholic.

How is that legal?

Please drink responsibly? You’re aiming your ads at alcoholics primarily.

It’s like advertising morphine on skid row. You know what you’re doing.

Edit: for the people saying I’m America centric. I have a Texas education.what the hell is the US? Nothing is beyond our boarders. We are the only land mass. Ill add a picture in the comments.

For the people who happily explained what it’s like in thier country. Makes me feel less crazy for pointing out the problem!

    The only thing you’re telling me is you’re unaware of the benefits. Making absurd, obviously stupid comparisons won’t convince anyone.

    Alcohol can help relax muscles, ease headaches and help you overcome performance anxiety.

    A typical beer can pacify and numb mouth sores without aggravating them.

    If you’re planning to reply with another obviously moronic comparison, choose better instead.

      Sorry I was in rehab.

      Clearly you are unaware of the pros of hitting yourself in the face with a rock. It helps you sleep, helps with high blood pressure…

      The fact of the matter is there is no healthy use of alcohol. They make pills that are prescribed by doctor for what you are describing. No doctor is going to prescribe drinking alcohol because it is only negative.

      I’m sorry you are struggling with accepting alcohol as a bad habit but that doesn’t make me stupid. It just means you are unwilling to face it.
