QUESTION: 49

A link between advertising and alcohol consumption is intuitively compelling but hasn’t been consistently supported by research.

Advertising bans in one medium also are weakened by substitution of increased advertising in alternative media and/or other promotions.

bans on alcohol advertising aren’t likely to work
