> I don't think any other substance could get away with the same kind of ads as alcohol manufacturers.

Cigarettes did for a long old time, until we regulated it away. Even when I was a kid (80s) I remember the tobacco ads mostly being kind of abstract because the regulations prevented them from saying very much. Then later they disappeared entirely.

I think I would probably be OK with most alcohol ads disappearing. Opinions on this may vary of course.
