Tv ads are the worst for me at the moment. Seeing champagne is sctruggrr for me. I spent 4 months convincing myself I could only drink champagne to toast. Those were expensive times.

Now with the forthcoming festivities I immediately mute the tv and busy myself in the kitchen during the ad breaks.

I'm coming up on a month and a half, almost two since my last drink. At this point I can walk thru the wine isle without batting an eye. Although I must admit, last night I saw my local store had Bota Box Shiraz on sale for $17.99 for a 3L box and I caught myself thinking hey, that's a pretty good price! Then I remembered I quit!

I don't see an issues with alcohol companies advertising. It's a legal problem and have the right to promote it to the public. You wouldn't be upset if you see McDonald's on youtube but a person that has an overeating disorder would. :-)
