Alcohol is being advertised more often on U.S. television and more teen-agers and children are seeing it, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.
The number of alcohol ads on network, local and cable television in the United States increased to 289,381 in 2002, up 39 percent from 2001, the team at the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University in Washington found.

They found that spending on such ads grew by 22 percent to more than $990 million in 2002.

Good the world needs more teenagers drunk and showing off to their friends

liquor ruins more lives and families but they choose to pick on us. I never understand that. lol

The best way is to show them how much of their tax money goes into this made up "war on marijuana."

Here in California, it has been decriminalized.

Let the numbers speak for themselves.

And remember NO ONE is saying allow kids to get marijuana, talking about recreational use, no different than people who drink some beers after work, or even DURING work ;)

The state of California saved nearly $1 billion dollars from 1976 to 1985 by decriminalizing the personal possession of one ounce of marijuana, according to a study of the state justice department budget.

REFERENCE: M. Aldrich and T. Mikuriya. 1988. Savings in California marijuana law enforcement costs attributable to the Moscone Act of 1976. Journal of Psychoactive Drugs 20: 75-81.

Taxpayers annually spend between $7.5 billion and $10 billion arresting and prosecuting individuals for marijuana violations. Almost 90 percent of these arrests are for marijuana possession only.

Washington, DC; Federal Bureau of Investigation's combined Uniform Crime Reports: Crime in the United States (1990-2000): Table: Arrest for Drug Abuse Violations. U.S. Department of Justice: Washington, DC.

60,000 individuals are behind bars for marijuana offenses at a cost to taxpayers of $1.2 billion per year.

All this because the government feels its okay to allow you to drink yourself to shit as an adult, and you can smoke tobacco all you want, but you MAY NOT SMOKE MARIJUANA.

what a fucking joke.

:thumbsup

i smoked pot and i suddenly went on a blood thirsty rampage through my neighborhood running over children and kittens..especially kittens

they need to show jack daniels commercials during sesame street

In my county, the cops don't care if you have pot and they sure as hell don't care if you act like a mad man when it is stolen and walk around other people's property with a loaded gun. :glugglug


Hell, you can even call the cops and tell them someone stole it.

hahaha@ my neighbor up the street

which will be at it's all time high if that law passes to draft 18 year old girls.

Getting drunk nowadays make kids feel more mature than they really are. Its their own way of saying "We can do what you can so get over it!"

This country is so fucked up.

10 years is a lot for a non-violent crime with no victim.


Donate to FAMM (Families Against Mandatory Minimums) too.
