Why is it that alcohol ads are everywhere and they are easily bought in stores nationwide with only a warning of only drinking moderately and yet gambling is not allowed to be the same?
In roads, there are ads of alcohol. Where funnily enough is you shouldn't drink in. While driving. But still there are big ads and multiple ones in roads about alcohol and the warning that says Drink Responsibly. Does that one warning make it safer?
Why can't we just do the same with gambling? Alcohol consumption is extremely risky not only to the person consuming it but to the people around him. There have been so many cases of crimes due to alcohol consumption. Many people's health destroyed. So what makes it ok for alcohol ads to continue in public but not gambling?
In my country, alcohol advertising is completely banned. There is not even a single hint anywhere. Very large fines threaten those who violate this ban. I can't say that people drink little, but the fact remains a fact. Several decades ago, the situation was the opposite. On TV, on the street on billboards and everywhere where it was possible to place an advertisement. All you see are advertisements about alcohol.
By the way, there is also no casino advertising anywhere. It can only be found on the Internet, but not on the streets of the city.
