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?
Alcohol has been part of society and culture for a long time, so it’s advertised everywhere and easy to buy. Even though it’s risky and causes problems, people accept it as normal with a “drink responsibly” warning.
Gambling is different it can quickly ruin people and families, so governments limit its ads and availability to protect people. Just putting “play responsibly” isn’t enough for gambling like it is for alcohol.
Gambling and alcohol are both intertwined with society and culture. Some of them may be more harmful than others. But what I think is that after drinking alcohol every physical, mental and financial loss affects your family life. You are losing money through gambling, but at the same time you are winning sometimes and having fun. I am not saying that you should gamble, but if you can play in moderation, your losses will be much less, but if you continue to drink alcohol even in small amounts, it will have a negative impact on your health and family.
Both things will harm you according to their own different characteristics, but one thing is the same, the end result of both is disaster, "Only in the case of gambling if it is uncontrolled". However, I think drugs are more harmful and disastrous than gambling, because if you can gamble within a limited range by following the rules, then it will never be harmful to you, rather you can enjoy entertainment through it, but in the case of drugs, "there is no such thing as a small amount or once", even if you drink a small amount, also that it is terribly harmful. So all in all, if you can control yourself in gambling, then it is good and entertaining, but in the case of drugs, there is no point in talking about a small or large amount, here even a small amount can cause you disaster, so you have to stay away from drugs completely.
You're right what is important is the end product of what is going to happen to you when you expose yourself too much to both gambling and drinking because both habits if not well controlled can lead to disaster because they are not good habits that someone should expose himself to.
Even though that government is no too concerned about drinking as the way they take gambling it is important that people should be careful with the way that they drink because drinking has the same effect as gambling because anyone can get addicted to drinking too
