Actually, to be in tune with proposed cigarette labeling, I think that roughly one half of the surface area of alcohol bottles should be devoted to carefully designed and suitably gory pictures of cirrhotic livers, accident victims with dismembered limbs, babies with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, drunks lying in the gutter, battered spouses, and so forth.
In addition, while we should of course remove all depictions of drinking from television and eventually from books, we should also focus on movies. Many films currently without an R rating depict people drinking what appears to be alcohol, often from containers that appear to have brand names or typical brand coloring. This obviously needs to be stopped and someone needs to do something about it.
Next week I'll tackle the problem of carcass chewing in the media, the disgusting rending of the dead flesh of helpless deers, bunny rabbits, and ever so cute and cuddly cows by disgustingly smelly carrion eaters.
Ick... kissing a meater is like licking a corpse.
Sincerely,
Michael J. McFadden
