Alcohol advertising is being banned in many nations. This essay also agrees with this initiative, because it will reduce the number of new alcoholics and will encourage alcohol consumers to quit.
The primary reason why making it illegal to advertise alcohol is that it will lead to a smaller number of people starting to use alcohol on a daily basis. If alcohol advertising is banned, the percentage of teenagers and young adults who are starting to use alcohol will dramatically decrease, as they will not see alcohol many times a day in various advertisements. For example, some European countries decided to ban alcohol advertisement, there was a significant decline in cases, when young people were seen drunk on the streets.
The second main reason why this ban is warranted is that it helps those addicted to alcohol quit their habit. This law will create a society, where drinking will be strange and not widespread. And this attitude will make alcoholics feel ostracized and this will provide alcoholics an excellent motivation to quit drinking. For instance, in Norway social pressure was often cited by ex-alcoholics as one of the reasons they gave up their habit.
In conclusion, this essay believes that making it against the law to advertise alcohol should be encouraged in many regions of the world, as it prevents the growth in the number of new young alcoholics and will encourage many people to not use alcohol.
