Warning Labels on Alcoholic Beverages

[trixietrack]

I saw a thread here yesterday mentioning how addictive alcohol is, and how a lot of young and old people end up addicted or hurt or dead from abusing alcohol.
I think that the warning labels on alcohol bottles or containers should also have a warning stating that it is an addictive substance, at least people can be warned before they embark on a hellish journey with alcohol.

Well Trixie, I just don't think that would help-look at how many people still smoke. But heck, it couldn't hurt, either. :goodjob:

They do that with cigarettes here, so I think they should with alcohol too. Of course our commercials are always ended with "Please drink responsibly" but they still make it look fun getting loaded at a bar full of beautiful and happy people.

some people say that if marijuana was legalized then people wouldn't drink as much and end up with such awful problems.
I still wonder why I am the only one in 3 generations who drinks like a fish (not so much anymore).
That is the thing accountable they make it look like such a blast in the ads , but then you say the word coke or heroin and it's instantly baad.
but alcohol is a seriously addictive substance.

Do you think if this warning was on a beer or a bottle of wine it would have stopped you? It wouldn't have stopped me.

The first minute of this Denis Leary stand up says it all:

(Denis is crass and rude. Do not open if you are easily offended.)

It just doesn't matter what the labels say.
