Cheers?

Alcohol plays an important role in many lives. It is there for you when you are having a depressing day or an awesome day worth celebrating. Either way, people look for any reason or excuse to drink a bottle of wine or a cold case of beer. Personally, I am conflicted about this topic. First of all, alcohol is not meant to be abused under any circumstance. On the other hand, there is absolutely nothing wrong enjoying a social drink every once in a while. But let's be serious, alcohol abuse is a serious problem. Too much alcohol results in harm to your body, mind and behavior. But what do advertisements have to say about their product?

 

"Pursue your Daydreams". Does this mean you have to drink Cuervo tequila to build up the courage to go after that man or woman of your dreams to make it a reality? According to Jose Cuervo, yes you do.

 

 

According to this ad, Guinness is good for you! The more Guinness you drink the more power you gain! The only power I see will be in a powerful beer belly. Yes, an abundance of alcohol will result in gaining weight.

 

This advertisement promotes Mecallan Whiskey as leading a more "colorful life". This is very ironic because too much alcohol will cause a person to completely black out and forget. Instead of flying out into the night sky, you will be stumbling out of the bar and not have any control over your own body.

 

 

Jack Daniels is saying you will have great sexual encounters by drinking their Tennessee Whiskey. Maybe you will get lucky with that hot girl you've been eyeing all night across the bar. But what alcohol really does is affect your decision making and importantly your vision. Your overall visual performance may be altered since drinking heavily impairs brain function. You may have blurred vision or double vision due to weakened eye muscle coordination. So that sexy girl you bring home from the bar wakes up next to you being someone you don't remember even talking to. Looks familiar?
