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?
If you happen to be active in our local scene or just through social media. You'd see a lot of billboards flooded in the streets about both of them. Our government is now trying to regulate that and even the influencers are also being regulated in advertising gambling. And that's due to no moderation of our countrymen in gambling and the recklessness that they are having due to gambling are out of control. It's also now viewed as a problem that even lawmakers are trying to think of some laws that they need to make for it to get regulated.
