huge strain on the health service and not only causes suffering to the patients but

to their families.

For example

, Russia had a huge problem with alcoholism and many men were dying from alcohol-related diseases, but after they decided to stop companies promoting alcoholic beverages on TV and in print ads, it resulted in a huge reduction of

such

cases. Another reason why the promotion of alcohol should be prohibited is the fact that it influences people unfairly to buy that product. The main goal of any advertising campaign is to sell more and

this

could be seen as irresponsible considering the harm drinking can do. Commercials often make certain drink brands look cool or sexy, in order to sway potential customers, and don’t actually talk about the dangers.

For example
