CMV: Advertising of alcohol should be banned

I think alcohol should be treated the exact same way that cigarettes are treated - as a threat to public health. Therefore, the government should take necessary steps to reduce consumption without outright banning it, because that didn’t work. A major component of this strategy is preventing advertising of alcohol. Let’s be honest, alcohol is a recreational drug, and it kills over 100,000 people each year, so why is it ok to advertise? What makes it different from cigarettes? 

People might say, “banning alcohol commercials won’t do anything.” I don’t agree. It’ll be a slow process, but this will prevent alcohol companies from controlling the way people think about alcohol consumption. And over time drinking will become less ingrained in society and less cool.

Alcohol is rooted way more deeply in our society than cigarette. Religion use alcohol, our food culture use alcohol etc. 

Trying to make it disapear as strongly as what we do with cigarettes would only backfire spectacularly. At least, what is advertised through normal channels is low-danger, tested alcohol. If the only legal advertising become word of mouth, then you can expect lots of unsafe, garage-distilled alcohol to get on the market. Contrary to Tobacco, crafting alcohol is easy, and pretty dangerous if you mess up (while crafting cigarettes if difficult and not that dangerous when hand-worked) so you should make sure that when someone think about alcohol, he think about something safe and government approved which won't make you blind when drunk.
