I’m in recovery and ever commercial is “the bold refreshing taste of uncle berry lemon twist vodka. Having a bad day? Drink this. You know you want to. Drink it Michael! please drink responably

Every ad portrays drinking as a party, and your in a pool throwing a beach ball with your friends, and your ex Chrissy finally admits she was wrong. It’s an unrealistically positive. If you drink Tito’s your father in law will finally grow close to you. It’s not Christmas without even Williams egg nog!

There is no safe amount of alcohol to drink. It is like cigarettes, entirely bad for you.

I’m not saying don’t sell it but why is every add for booze being blasted every. Especially to me because the algorithm knows I’m an alcoholic.

How is that legal?

Please drink responsibly? You’re aiming your ads at alcoholics primarily.

It’s like advertising morphine on skid row. You know what you’re doing.

Edit: for the people saying I’m America centric. I have a Texas education.what the hell is the US? Nothing is beyond our boarders. We are the only land mass. Ill add a picture in the comments.

For the people who happily explained what it’s like in thier country. Makes me feel less crazy for pointing out the problem!

    We don’t, alcohol adverts are just as illegal as tobacco. Of course; that might not be the case everywhere on the planet :P

      I appreciate you being friendly with it. I just wasn’t thinking about savages.

      Z”that’s a joke by the way.

      Our education is American centric. “We arrived to this empty land and these hundreds of tribes had a stick up for here butt so we generously held lad on thier behalf in a trust they have no control over. There were treaties.‘don’t look them up but it wasntotallynlegit broh

      Theres actually a joke here “we learn geography based on what war we’re in”

      If I moved to your country you probably list me as mentally disabled “the usSr can’t hurt you it been gone-

      “WE NEED THIRTY NUCLEAR LAND MINES!”

      I appreciate you taking it easy on me

          Comedy is how I cope with things. That and drinking. They don’t always combine well.

          All jokes are dark. There is no joke that doesn’t Involve pain. Jokes are the way we address Hard realities in a safe way.

            That has absolutely nothing to do with the “joke” being bad, and that had no humour in it at all. You were just being a dick. Granted, there’s a fine line between “dark” humour and being a dick, but you most certainly crossed it.

              That’s where you are completely wrong

              “Joke” doesn’t need to be in quotes. It’s not an opinion or grey area. If something is told as a joke it is a joke.

              Your opinion of the joke doesn’t stop it from being a joke. Buy a dictionary .

              “No humor at all “ it was sarcastic ghoulish humor by definition. It’s a specific classification

              Dark humor doesn’t need to be in quotes all humor is dark humor. That’s what humor is.

              You clearly have opinions if I want to hear them I’ll ask for them. Until then just be about your way.

                You’re very confused buddy. If you post crappy “jokes” on the internet, be prepared to receive feedback on them. Hopefully next time you’ll actually have something funny to say. Otherwise, “just be about your way”.
