I missed this the first time around. At 72 years of age, I've witnessed a lot of harm that alcohol does. My youngest brother nearly drank himself to death. He has been sober for ~10 years. He and i were elk hunting last week and were visiting about it.
For him, rehab for the 30 days gave him the length of time to realize how much better in every way he felt sober compared to being drunk or hungover all of the time.
My son has had alcohol problems for much of his adult life. Presently, he seems to have a handle on it, but time will tell.
I have never been a heavy drinker. When I am drinking at my heaviest, it is a drink a day for a few weeks. Then there might be several years where I don't have a drink, at all.
The ads for alcohol only show the giddy side of drinking, never the darkness. It has been years since tobacco could advertise on television, banning alcohol ads would seem to be a logical follow up.
