Cyclone Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I have noticed and had quite a few debates about smoking, and how people hate it on this forum, but very rarely do we see a thread about drinking. Now we all know drinking in moderation is fine (also get drunk occasionally, if you want), but kids who watch the TV must think it's the norm. When you put on a soap Corrie, or Deadenders, or Hemorrhoid Farm they are either always in the pub, or walk into their homes and the 1st thing they do is get out a can or bottle of wine. Kids should be taught this is not the norm, and soaps should be made to moderate the amount of alcohol drinking they advertise, alcohol does more damage than smoking, but we don't see any of the hatred towards it. It may not be real alcohol they drink but it's still glamorising boozing, and for kids that's wrong and dangerous. Perhaps you should just stop watching these programs if you don't like them?

If you watch Corrie, or Deadenders, or Hemorrhoid Farm , no wonder you hit the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
