There will always be temptation in our lives. When I was drinking you could have eliminated every alcohol ad from every form of media and hid the beer in generic, unlabeled cans in the back room of one store an hour away from my house, but I would have driven an hour every single day to buy a 12 pack( or a case if it was a weekend day ).
Think about illicit drugs for a second - say Heroin and Meth for example. For one thing, they are of course illegal. Secondly, ALL you see in the "media" is about how bad both of these drugs are for you. Some of the ads are shocking as to how bad things get for some users of these drugs, and rightly so. But you know what, more and more people are using these drugs than ever before even in spite of those facts.
So yes, ads are distracting. Yes, they glamorize a product that can be harmful to us, especially alcoholics. But at the end of the day it's our responsibility to make the right choices no matter what we see in the course of the day.
