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?

Maybe it's because lawmakers want to drink too
. I know alcohol can be harmful, just like gambling, but in my place, it's rare to see accidents caused by people drunk. On the other hand, gambling often leads to serious problems like people getting into debt or even committing crimes. So it makes sense that gambling is more strictly regulated than alcohol drinking.
