I was speaking only for commercials btw. Ah, okay--I guess it is true only for commercials. I guess this requires the alcohol companies to be especially creative in advertising--which they are many times! |

I'm pretty sure there was a ban on advertising hard liquor on TV for several years. If I recall, it was lifted maybe six or eight years back. They could advertise beer and wine back in the old days before the ban hard liquior ads was lifted.
I hadn't noticed the fact that noone is ever shown actually drinking the hard stuff in the ads, but now that you mention it, I can't remember ever seeing that. Seems like they mostly show it being poured.

Same reason we have trouble with Extremist from the middle east,its a smaller world today ,tv,internet,others see what they DONT have like us and some things they dont,with school type shootings,its mostly copycat ,rejects see it [if their crazy]as a way to fight back and show 'them' a lesson ,in their little minds,get fame too.
