"hand you another drink, drink it if you can"
Right now I am taking a CPR and First Aid class. The classroom is FILLED with promotional advertisements (and I don't think promotional is the exact word I'm looking for) for healthy living; namely not smoking, or drinking, or using tobacco, etc. Most of them I've seen all throughout my high school and junior high experience in every health class I had. Yet, a couple of them I had not seen before. One that stood out to me was a poster that had a picture of quite a few billboards one after another along the side of the road, all advertising for some type of alcoholic drink. In the upper corner it said "How many times has your child been offered a drink today?". I guess it stood out to me because I would have never thought about an ad for beer as someone "offering" me a drink, but that is essentially what they are doing. I think that poster made a good point at helping us realize what are kids are exposed to not just at school and by peers but by advertisers as well.
