‘Balanced’ Ads for Beer, Wine

I wish to praise the article entitled “Broadcaster’s Sober Duty Is to Public on Alcohol Ads” highly. I am greatly in favor of a complete ban on liquor not only on television and radio but hopefully also from the pages of periodicals. The problem of alcohol is a tumor in the welfare of society within the United States.

Although the Constitution guarantees free speech to all, such a ban would be for the good of people as a whole. Informative public service messages are still necessary to deter adolescents from the temptations of alcohol. The media have promoted alcohol for too long! It’s now time for concerned citizens to influence local and network broadcasters to cease commercials which relate to beer and wine.
