I really wish at the very least for alcohol we could stop the Big Corp from advertising it everywhere.
I see ads all the time. Watch a baseball game? See a bunch of ads for beer, whiskey, etc. We want baseball, a national pastime, to be a family-friendly event. Even going to the game itself you're inundated with alcoholic stuff. Some carts on the concourses only sell beer, have bottles displayed everywhere. There are now massive advertisements with alcohol companies. People literally from Coors or w/e trying to get you to sign up to pledge not to drive home drunk. You're lucky if most of your row isn't full of people double-fisting $15 cups of beer.
And that's just alcohol. I'm not anti-alcohol but none of this type of stuff helps the issue.
