welcome back DG
I think we have an inbuilt defense against those ads - we know what the reality is for us.
We've lived it.
Pull up any thread here and read.
Think about the last time you got drunk.
For us alcohol does not make us funnier, it does not make us more attractive to the opposite sex, it does not make parties spontaneously erupt, it does not make our bad times better....
we know the truth - we just have to keep reminding ourselves, sometimes....
stay strong
