    You need something better to do with your time than type out a bunch of nonsense no one is going to read.

    Everyone has told you multiple times you are flat out wrong about tv ads. Suck it up and move on.

      Factcheck: Everyone hasn’t told @[email protected] that they’re flat out wrong about TV ads. I haven’t had my turn yet.

      @[email protected], you are flat out wrong about TV ads for alcoholic beverages in the USA. I’m cheerfully hoisting an adult beverage soon as I’ve posted this, “as seen on TV.”

        I am making it all up this never existed, I remember strongly Carter, Raegan, Bush speaking on tv and then there was a Jack Daniels commercial …

      Am I making this up?

      What media can safely say 71% of the audience is over 21? A scary movie? Something with explicit sex, what, because that is what teens will run and watch.

      Federal and local courts went head to head about alcohol advertising in the 90s and targeting teens (or under aged drinkers 21 in the US since early 1980s). Remember Coors nearly going bankrupt, or Camel being attacked because of their camel cartoon character ads? Superficial hypocritical measures that only lawyers and insurance companies can appreciate.

      The division between beer and malt-liquor/liquor in the US is very specific to US regulation that separates beer from liquor. From state to state to sell liquor beer and wine may be separate licenses.

      Did any of this have an impact in reducing under 21 addiction, mortality, DUI rates? NO!!

          Why don’t you let it go when it was common knowledge than nearly for half a century there was no liquor advertised on public tv in the US. Whether it was a law or the 3networks shut down and said lets’ self regulate so they don’t make laws against it … is a different story.
