A Web Awash in Liquor Ads, Promoting Moderation

My Reactions:

In my opinion, promoting a moderation mode of drinking through the internet is effective in reminding people drink responsibly. The reason is that the number of people connecting to the internet is growing dramatically; you can go online everywhere whenever you want. Therefore, internet must be a good way to give that information to the public especially to the youth. What is more, the messages that they bring are advisable and much better than just asking people not to do this or should not do that. Give them a tool to make their own decision.
Alcohol makes people relaxed and their mind wander. If they take too much, it will slow reflexes and they even cannot control themselves. There are numerous accidents happen every day and most of the offenders drank before committed a crime. One of the significant examples is drunk driving. Although it is not as common as it used to be, but it is still a big threat in streets and highways. They cannot drive safely when they are impaired by alcohol because it affects judgment and vision. In this case, they have to remind themselves not to drink too much before driving or do not drive after drink. Just do what the campaign says, “say yes to drink in a responsible way.”
