Ban all advertising for alcohol, too, please
You can't advertise alcohol on the TV in my country. Only exception is beer.
You! This woman! Sex! You in a tuxedo fucking this woman!
Drunk as fuck!
There hasn't been an ad for alcohol on US TV for decades and this had no effect, other than saving alcohol industries for wasting money competing with each other in that area.
What? They can't drink in ads they absolutely still advertise alcohol on television. Its also on a ton of billboards.
Are we speaking of the US, can you show us a clip from US tv advertising whiskey gin even wine? What I am saying is that it had 0 effect on alcoholism
You know we've been talking about the US the entire time. You earlier in this same thread:
There hasn’t been an ad for alcohol on US TV for decades
Idk what future you're from, but these have all been within very recent decades:

Kid, NBC had banned alcohol ads from their network for 50y that is half the 20th century I had no idea I am speaking to minors here
There are literal tv ads for alcohol in that link. You're as dumb as you think you are smart.
Those who live in a historical vacuum and think the world is summerized in a still picture ... For decades there were no tv ads in America's public tv ... are we living in parallel universe ... The first hit I get on search engines is NBC admitting to voluntarily end a 50y long policy of not airing liquor ads.
"I love football on tv, shots of Gina Lee, hangin' with my friends, and twins." ...something-something "and I love you too. It's the love song!"
-Alcohol ads used to have the best jingles.
Because you see ads today that means they were always there? Isn't there any basic train of thought anymore, is everyone now living in still pictures? Why are so many people here denying the article I provided earlier where it was saying that NBC after "50" years it begun having liquor ads again.
" Isn’t there any basic train of thought anymore..."
No, ads, television, and social media destroyed our attention spans.
Now the only tv ads that play are Lawyer ads, Insurance ads, and Pharmaceutical Ads. By comparison, Alcohol ads coming back doesn't seem half-bad.
Australian sports fields are covered in alcohol logos So the entire time you are watching football with your children, they are exposed
What is the legal drinking age in Aus? When the Kuwait war started there were kids sent to fight in an unheard land before, and they did and some came back and still couldn't drink legally in the US. You can drive at 16, on a mandatory draft you could be drafted as young as 16, but you have to be 21 to drink and 18 to buy cigarettes. You can sell crack and crystal-meth on the streets, illegal weapons, flesh, easy when you are 15, but you have to pay a homeless drunk to buy you wine or a pack of Camels.
That is your free market hypocrisy at work.
How else can I explain it, there are millions of children dying because of food and water shortages, but WHO thinks alcohol labels will benefit peoples' health ...
Somebody get us some rope ...
I agree that there are much bigger problems, but those bigger problems have solutions that are not allowed under capitalism and USA imperialism, so labels is all we're allowed to fix 🤷
The legal drinking age in Australia is 18 years old, and it has always struck me as odd that it's so high in the USA
Kids in the US not only abuse alcohol more than any other place in the channel they are used as traffickers for illegal substances due to their less severe criminal treatment. Of course this weight is carried by the lower economic class. In anonymous interviews there was consensus though, it was easier for them to get drugs and guns than alcohol and cigarettes. That's because they had to pay an adult to get it for them, because they are selling everything else.
All this is a structural part of stability of capitalism as you very well state. Unfortunately the formula of that stability is imposed on all other "dependent" states, and in some cases in extremes (Brazil, Phillipines, ..).
I can never tell anymore if people actually believe it or just post it.
I don't usually watch live television, but I definitely saw a few beer ads during the Super Bowl.
US beer can hardly qualify as control substance, it is what alcoholics drink to reduce the alcohol on their blood. The rest of alcohol has been banned for decades. Imagine that when Amstel first seriously started selling in the US standard Amstel couldn't classify as beer but only liquor, amstel light did meet the criteria. Now this is tv and radio, other media did have ads.
Tobacco bans mostly hurt motorsports but soon they found alternatives to cover the market.
Per your original comment:
There hasn't been an ad for alcohol on US TV for decades
Beer is alcohol. Beer is still advertised on US TV. Everything you've said just comes across as a bad faith attempt to redirect the argument.
What I am saying is that all the ad restrictions hadn't had an effect to really decrease alcohol consumption.
Redirect what argument, that WHO decided to waste more billions of financing to pretend they are doing something beyond stating the obvious? Why don't we go back a few years and see what WHO did to assist and hash propaganda about covid originating in China and other myths without ever going back and dismissing the myths when clear evidence came out that it was all political propaganda fabrications.
The WHO is just like the UN, it sells the middle class of the western world some assurance that funding is going to organizations looking up for humanities best interests.
And who are we to discuss whether this dumb unscientific proposal has any value? Nobody asked us, it is just tax money being funneled somewhere for industry to draw legitimacy for their causes when it needs it.
Drinking is not bad alone, abusing alcohol is, being an alcoholic is bad. What would tags do to alocoholics? You can put a live screen showing them their own liver turning to plaster and they will still empty the bottle.
Meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of people dying from simple curable diseases, kids dying, some dying simply from thirst for clean water or basic nutrient deficiencies. WHO is proposing to put warning on 50yo Cognac bottles.
Holy. I've never seen such a perfect example of moving goalposts before.
I'm impressed.
If you don't understand something in specific ask me to explain it.
Summary: The WHO are a bunch of hypocrites serving big-pharma interests and feeding propaganda
We have more important things to discuss than what WHO does or doesn't when we will never be asked by WHO on our opinion or whether we choose to support those nobodies.
For decades US-TV wasn't showing alcohol ads, no effect. Since I watch no tv or US sports, I wouldn't know they begun showing them again. During the decades I watched tv (star-trek NG, taxi, cheers, mork&mindy,SNL) there were never alcohol commercials.
Cigarette labeled packs with horror pics and messages in EU had no effect, but socially pressuring people to quit smoking had a dramatic increase in anti-depressant medication. CIgarettes in the EU all look alike now, less than 10% of the box is left for brand/color/label etc. Nobody pays attention to what the box says.
Italian hospitals first, then French, came out saying they had deaths with symptoms and went back to stored blood samples and were positive for SARS-cov2 ... 2months before the first case in China. The Who was still saying that the evidence on where in China the virus originated were inconclusive. They are still publishing reports on covid based on data that only a handful of countries are still providing. They are the joke of the health sector. Big-Pharma must have cut their bribes down and they are seeking bribes from Alcohol companies.
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 @iriyan@lemmy.ml that they're flat out wrong about TV ads. I haven't had my turn yet.
@iriyan@lemmy.ml, 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!!
That link even says they advertise on tv.
Did i make up the tv ads i linked to you?
Let it go, dude. Jesus.
you are such an ignorant troll, this is like saying Julian Assange was never in prison, I just saw him yesterday walking on the beach!
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.
Your delusional. Take your meds and go away.
I seem to remember Captain Morgan commercials, Jameson, various Vodka commercials, is it a specific state that you are in maybe?
Those "Are you ready to Tanqueray" commercials were not "decades" ago.
