WHY, for the life of me, are we still encouraging alcohol distributers the right to advertise their products when we know that excessive alcohol consumption will result in carnage and social ills.
It is a well-established fact that excessive alcohol consumption leads also to mental dysfunction

This will help to save not only lives but lessen family violence, car accidents, assaults and many other social ills.
This is such an obvious remedy or is the government in so much need of the revenue that it is prepared to keep encouraging alcohol advertising.
