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?
I don't think alcohol is the only thing that has ads nationwide, gambling ads are everywhere. maybe I am the only one seeing it, but if you take a close look, you will realize that gambling ads and alcohol are everywhere. I don't know about your country but in country I even notice gambling ads more often than alcohol.
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?
I don't know why you keep emphasizing on alcohol in comparison with gambling, but if we want to throw more light on that, we can also relate that in gambling shop, it is stated that
1 gamble with your spear money.
2 gambling age is 18 years and above.
3 gamble responsiblyBut people often neglect this rules and still gamble, so what then do we call it? So if you ask me, I will say thesame thing applicable to alcohol is also in Gambling. And gambling is even more addictive than alcohol because it involves losing huge amount of money within some minutes of your time.
