Advertisement is the root of all evil nowadays. You can apply it to anything. One could argue that the reason our country is struggling is because we as Americans have been worn out from advertisements. There's too many, they are everywhere and it's only getting bigger. The article gives a variety of reasons why the author Paul believes that alcohol is a "rising problem in the united states due to advertising." Paul does this by comparing and contrasting two alcohol advertisements. One being darker which gives it a more sophisticated feel and the other being lighter which gives the feelings of innocence.
The article goes onto state some facts about alcohol abuse and the percentage (5.6% of Americans) that have a problem with alcohol. I think alcohol is a problem in the eyes of the beholder. If you drink 10 shots every night to ease your mind and cope with your stress; and you don't think you have a problem, then more power to you! All I can say is I hope you have fun with your liver in the future. Anyway, if you have one drink a night and feel depressed and hungover every morning and you think that you have a problem; well, I think you need to have a word with the dude who thinks he's okay taking 10 shots a night.
