Why We Shouldnt Advertise for Alcohol
The topic I chose for my persuasive essay is: "should we keep drinking commercials on TV?" In my opinion we shouldn't. The companies that make and sell alcoholic beverages advertise their products on the TV and radio, in newspapers and magazines, and on billboards. These pictures show men and women having fun and relaxing with friends while drinking. These advertisements tell viewers that if they want to have fun and be seen as handsome or pretty, they should drink alcohol. The advertisers want to send the message that alcohol is more than just a drink; it is a reward that people give to themselves and friends. They should take the alcohol commercials off of TV, and out of magazines, etc. for a number of reasons. Most all kids watch TV. Not all channels now have alcohol commercials on them,
Like Ben Affleck, and Matthew Perry, they both were alcoholics not too long ago. I went through some magazines and there were alcohol and cigarette ads in everyone except magazines containing the word "teen" or something that had to do with home and garden. It kills 6 1/2 times more young people than any other drug combined. Most things happen under the influence of alcohol. The magazines don't say it's bad, but they also don't say it's good. but the ones that do, underage young women and men watch. Drinking at a young age is a problem in rural America. Each year in the United States 97,000 deaths are related to drinking to much alcohol. Underage drinking is considered to be the United States greatest drug problem.
