When you former drinkers who are suffering from various forms of liver ailments hear radio ads geared towards young people encouraging excessive drinking do you cringe? Specifically I mean a radio spot that says. come to Joe's Tavern and enjoy 99 cent margaritas all night long!" Do you feel for those misguided folks who will learn the hard way in 5-10 years.

I would not go as far as advocating prohibition but I think the old animal house mentality should be curtailed.
