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?

There are many advertisements for drinking alcohol all over the world today, with warnings, but I still think it is the most risky. People do many things after drinking alcohol, they lose their mental balance, sometimes drive cars or behave badly with people in different places. Very few people drink alcohol responsibly, most people cannot control themselves when they drink, which causes problems.
However, although there are no such advertisements for gambling on the streets, you can definitely see a lot of gambling propaganda on online platforms. Currently, most of the casinos are advertised on TV channels and social media, and there is also alcohol propaganda. I think that neither advertising for drinking alcohol nor advertising for gambling in public is right, but such advertisements will cause many complications for the future generation.
