I ask you one question
Why is it that alcohol commercials are allowed to be shown on tv, yet tobacco ads are not? Is it because alcohol companies are too powerful, and they continue to dominate certain arenas such as sports? Still, how can any politician or official be pleased with the fact that television tobbacco ads have been banned (thas wonderful), yet alcohol commercials flourish (oh, look the other way). Again, if you watch any sporting event you will be subject to a blitz of beer ads, even cute little ones that would attract little kids, like the little bitty animated Budweiser frogs--aww. Don't forget that Joe Camel, along with other cartoonish caracters, was banned because he appealed to little kids.

How can people, politicains, elected officials, heads of watch groups, be reconciled with this fact--alcohol tv ads are permitted despite the brutal dangers of alcohol and the stricter regulations held for other harmful substances. Drugs are illegial, as they should be, but why? Deaths? Umm, yea, thas a factor, even tho you would be very very surprised how few drug overdoses there are each year. But really, it must be the psychological effects that are feared most. Well alcohol destroys families and causes psychologicial problems jus the same--like addiction--even so bad they call it a disease. Even more, alcohol causes more deaths each year than all drugs combined (and by a landslide). I believe that things are the way they are fer 2 reasons.
A) Alcohol companies have a stong foothold in America, and the rest of the world; money is power.
B) Most people drink alcohol.

Still, I have noticed this, and it makes me doubt politicians who mount a high horse of "War on Drugs", or spearhead tobbacco lawsuits, assumedly to garner votes and appeal to fighting against America's ills. Ha. Where is the parity?
