Many teenagers watch sports, and parents rarely have a problem with this. Why should they? Of all the programs featuring drugs, sex, and violence, sports sounds like a great alternative. Except for one thing. Many if not all sporting events feature advertising for alcohol. Most of these ads are funny too. Since I can remember, I have been watching the Super Bowl, and always love the funny beer commercials. At a young age it is being imprinted into the minds of these kids that alcohol is fun and funny. It's an all around good time. This not only helps the kid associate good feelings with alcohol, but also peak their interest.
Below is a recent ad for Bud Light. This is one of hundreds of alcohol ads children have beed subjected to over the years.
