I’m in recovery and ever commercial is “the bold refreshing taste of uncle berry lemon twist vodka. Having a bad day? Drink this. You know you want to. Drink it Michael! please drink responably

Every ad portrays drinking as a party, and your in a pool throwing a beach ball with your friends, and your ex Chrissy finally admits she was wrong. It’s an unrealistically positive. If you drink Tito’s your father in law will finally grow close to you. It’s not Christmas without even Williams egg nog!

There is no safe amount of alcohol to drink. It is like cigarettes, entirely bad for you.

I’m not saying don’t sell it but why is every add for booze being blasted every. Especially to me because the algorithm knows I’m an alcoholic.

How is that legal?

Please drink responsibly? You’re aiming your ads at alcoholics primarily.

It’s like advertising morphine on skid row. You know what you’re doing.

Edit: for the people saying I’m America centric. I have a Texas education.what the hell is the US? Nothing is beyond our boarders. We are the only land mass. Ill add a picture in the comments.

For the people who happily explained what it’s like in thier country. Makes me feel less crazy for pointing out the problem!

      Comedy is how I cope with things. That and drinking. They don’t always combine well.

      All jokes are dark. There is no joke that doesn’t Involve pain. Jokes are the way we address Hard realities in a safe way.

        That has absolutely nothing to do with the “joke” being bad, and that had no humour in it at all. You were just being a dick. Granted, there’s a fine line between “dark” humour and being a dick, but you most certainly crossed it.

          That’s where you are completely wrong

          “Joke” doesn’t need to be in quotes. It’s not an opinion or grey area. If something is told as a joke it is a joke.

          Your opinion of the joke doesn’t stop it from being a joke. Buy a dictionary .

          “No humor at all “ it was sarcastic ghoulish humor by definition. It’s a specific classification

          Dark humor doesn’t need to be in quotes all humor is dark humor. That’s what humor is.

          You clearly have opinions if I want to hear them I’ll ask for them. Until then just be about your way.

            You’re very confused buddy. If you post crappy “jokes” on the internet, be prepared to receive feedback on them. Hopefully next time you’ll actually have something funny to say. Otherwise, “just be about your way”.

              Again jokes doesn’t need to be in quotes. Buy a dictionary. Jokes don’t have to personally funny to you to be a joke by definition. A crappy joke is still a joke.

              So Id your plan is for me not to say anything you personally don’t like… my answers no.

              Feel free to repeat you don’t like it until you are blue in the face, just buy a dictionary so you know what words mean.

              There is also a block function . no one Is holding you here. You are choosing to not like my joke and I’m choosing to not care About your opinion. I’m not ashamed of my joke at all. I apologize if you felt offended by that’s the end of my giving a fuck about this matter.

              Unfortunately for you I can write a novel Faster than you could name chapter so I have no problem responding to you forever. But you should probably know you won’t ever win.

              All jokes are dark. Laughing and crying serve the same function. Knock knock?

              Who’s there?

              To To who?

              It’s to whom actually.

              Onoxk Not Jokes Are Based on the pain of appearing foolish im public.

              For ten years no one’s ever shown me A joke that isn’t pain.

              Closest anyone ever got was “puns Don’t involve pain” how do we as a society react to puns? With anger like Just hearing it hurt us.

              Every joke ever told is about pain. places “prove me wrong” In front of my tent

              If something was intend as a joke it meets the qualifications for “a joke”. If one person laughs it’s not categorized as unfunny. Someone found it funny.

              It’s unfunny to you. That’s it. You are too self absorbed to see that your don’t control what is and isn’t comedy based on your feelings. Buy a dictionary.
