Tax Alcohol, Too

Summary


Alcohol is another mind-altering drug that allows people to escape reality. Alcohol is glamorized on TV and billboards. Most sporting events are sponsored by alcohol advertisements. Look at hockey and baseball. They're plastered with ads everywhere. Isn't that aimed at children and young adults?

With the concern about the effects of tobacco and our children, why isn't there a concern about the effects of alcohol? They have surveys of how many kids smoke but none about drinking. Has drinking become so socially accepted that no one wants to look at this problem? Why the concern about one drug (tobacco) but not the other (alcohol)? Alcohol attacks the whole person, mind, body and spirit. It's highly addictive and deadly. Alcoholism affects millions of people each year, yet nobody cares. It seems to be a right when a teen becomes of legal age just to hit the bars. Shouldn"t our children know about the life-threatening dangers of this drug?
