Here’s to Your Health
[1] As the only freshman on his high school’s varsity wrestling team, Todd was
anxious to fit in with his older teammates. One night after a match, he was offered a
tequila bottle on the ride home. Todd felt he had to accept, or he would seem like a
sissy. He took a swallow, and every time the bottle was passed back to him, he took
another swallow. After seven swallows, he passed out. His terrified teammates
carried him into his home, and his mother then rushed him to the hospital. After his
stomach was pumped, Todd learned that his blood alcohol level had been so high that
he was lucky not to be in a coma or dead.
[2] Unfortunately, drinking is not unusual among high-school students or, for that
matter, in any other segment of our society. And that’s no accident. There are
numerous influences in our society urging people to drink, not the least of which is
advertising. Who can recall a televised baseball or basketball game without a beer
commercial? Furthermore, alcohol ads appear with pounding frequency in
magazines, on billboards, and in college newspapers. According to industry
estimates, brewers spend more than $600 million a year on radio and TV commercials
and another $90 million on print ads. In addition, the liquor industry spends about
$230 million a year on print advertising, and since 1966 it has greatly expanded its
presence on cable and independent broadcast stations. Just recently, NBC became
the first network station to accept hard liquor ads for broadcast.
[3] To top it all off, this aggressive advertising of alcohol promotes a harmful
myth about drinking.
[4] Part of the myth is that liquor signals professional success. In a slick men’s
magazine, one fullad for Scotch whiskey shows two men seated in an elegant
restaurant. Both are in their thirties, perfectly groomed, and wearing
expensive-looking gray suits. T
