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?
In both gambling and drinking, people get a lot of entertainment. In drinking, people know that they are wasting money because they buy it and then drink it and their purpose is to refresh their mind. So here a person does not suffer much financially. But drinking can be the cause of his physical illness. However, in gambling, a person dreams more than having fun and winning something big. Because here anyone can win a big win at any time which can change his life. All gamblers think like this but basically something different happens. Gambling games are designed in such a way that a gambler will not always lose, sometimes there will be a will which will make him more greedy and gradually he will become more addicted and gradually lose his money. And in this process only a few lucky people can fulfill their dreams by winning something big and the rest only destroy their dreams.
