Every movie, series or other thing where people grab the bottle to handle their heartache, happiness or socializing is an advertisement that you should drink.

It's going to need a huge transformation in society to change those advertising channels. Just like the movie cig industry was a long term process.

So you’re saying artists should be regulated on their expression of the human condition? Are people so dumb that they see a movie and think “oh I should drink to handle stress”? Or is it because it works short term?

Censorship is a thing in every society.
