Question by xie: Can alcohol advertisement in sport broadcasting somehow make people addicted to alcoholism and Hooliganism?
Can alcohol advertisement in sport broadcasting somehow make people addicted to alcoholism and Hooliganism? Things like Tiger beer or Heineken’s ads in Barclay’s Premier League. Do those things have the same mechanism of persuading young people who watch football match in TV to get addicted to alcohol?
Best answer:
Answer by Jennifer W No and yes, some people have the chemical makeup to be alcoholics and others don’t. What these advertisements do is glamorize the use of alcohol, which makes it more appealing to the younger generation, which in turn makes it more likely they will try it at some point, so if you have the genes for alcoholism it is most likely you will get addicted way before the age of 21. It is the alcohol itself, not the advertisements, that causes hooliganism, people aren’t in their right state of mind while drinking and more prone to do stupid stuff. Some people don’t need to be drunk in order to be stupid though. Maybe we should sue the alcohol companies like we did the cigarette companies. Alcoholism is a nasty disease and destroys the lives of everyone who loves the alcoholic, alcoholics are no better than crack addicts, and the damage caused is just as severe. They drag everyone they love into the gutter with them, they are emotionally abusive, and they destroy the lives of those who depend on them most, like their children and their spouses and in some cases even their parents until they finally die of liver damage. ;-)

Question by JUST ME: How can i make my 17 yr old niece stop using meth and go to detox/rehab?
my 17 yr old niece is a meth addict and has been regularly for over a year now. my older sister (her mom) says that she has done everything to get help for her daughter but i disagree. she collects my niece’s child support even though she is not supporting my niece. i just received a text from my niece saying that she’s in big trouble: it’s nighttime and she is filthy and has only a tank top and shorts on. and is somewhere lying on a bench with a fever from a cold. i am so afraid for her and angry at my sis but i desperately need to try and find some kind of help for my niece. she shoplifts and commits other crimes but is never arrested. why? i have NO idea. i think that would be the best, if not the only way to get her into rehab. Please help, I don’t want to lose my niece!

Question by da.yooper57: Is it fair and balanced? Fox news asks Cheney if he was drinking he says yes/no Britt changes the subject?
Do you think that if President Obama did the same thing then went on Fox and said he was not drinking there was no alcohol involved at all then also says there was drinking during the field lunch after which we went hunting in the afternoon and of course there was drinking in the afternoon at lunch. FAIR AND BALANCED YIKES
Brian, Austin, Collin, Tyler and Brady go camping, but several of them have more than camping on their minds. They have a bottle of vodka, cigarettes and weed planned for the evening. Brian didn’t know what they were planning, otherwise he might not have gone. When they start drinking, Brian takes his sleeping bag and goes off by himself to sleep down by the lake. What the boys don’t know is Brian’s parents are serving a prison sentence for manufacturing Crystal Meth. They didn’t begin with Crystal Meth, they began with alcohol, cigarettes and weed, and Brian doesn’t want his friends to end up the way his parents did. Video Rating: 0 / 5
