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?
They are not even close, drinking can easily be stopped because there is limit to how much you can drink per day, you can't drink 100 bottles in a way without getting medical treatment, it's impossible, and this 100 bottles doesn't cost much compare to how much a stupid gambler can waste on gambling in a day.
One will reck you financially than the other, you can waste $1000 on gambling in a day but you can't drink bottles of alcohol worth a thousand dollars in a day, also I don't drink, I have friends that do but they failed trying to influence me too.
You want to know why? I don't like the smell of alcohol drinks, the ones I can take are wines mixed with small alcohol percentage out of the box, they always mock me for not knowing how to drink, and I am fine with it. It's easier to be a gambler than to be addicted to gambling.
This is me though, if I have to advice others I will say its better to drink than to become a gambler because gambling will ruin you financially and drinking will turn your head upside down and make you misbehave, for a while.
