Alcohol is a drink that everybody consumes from young adults to the much older crowd.

Those commercials are targeted for everyone who is into sports because right after the half time is done the shows about beer start to show up and it makes the young adults who are all into the game want to go buy beer and have a good time with their friends. Beer company’s really target the party crowds I would say because, everyone who is having a party at their house is more likely to have beers for people to drink and have the best time they can have at that party. Its not only party’s that have beers its also concerts and raves who have a lot of drinks, so that the people who attend them can dance to the music and get into the concerts or raves. Since alcohol commercials been coming out in the television in the mid 1950’s the sales have got much better and it has not only been with one brand but all of the brands. In “ Beer And Television” it explains that the beer that really increased in sells was Mills, “Mills sales exploded from just under 7 million barrels to over 30 million barrels.” That was a drastic increase in sells and that was because the commercials were so fun and knew how to get into everyone who watched them. Every single person that would see the commercials would want to be like

    The sales for Lite were impressive but it found that majority of its consumers were moderate drinking, 25-44 year old, upscale professionals. However, Lite was successful because its value proposition of the beer being ‘light’ appealed to this older, upscale demographic than their intended target because they interpreted the message as an opportunity to drink without getting slowed down mentally or physically. Also, their choice of media, i.e., advertising during sports shows, reached this segment equally well.…

    According to Robert Scholes, author of On Reading a Video Text, commercials aired on television hold a dynamic power over human beings on a subconscious level. He believes that through the use of specific tools, commercials can hold the minds of an audience captive, and can control their abilities to think rationally. Visual fascination, one of the tools Scholes believes captures the minds of viewers, can take a simple video, and through the use of editing and special effects, turn it into a powerful scene which one simply cannot take his or her eyes from. Narrativity is yet another way Scholes feels commercials can take control of the thoughts of a person sitting in front of the television. Through the use of specific words, sounds, accompanying statements and or music, a television commercial can hold a viewer's mind within its grasp, just long enough to confuse someone into buying a product for the wrong reason. The most significant power over the population held by television commercials is that of cultural reinforcement, as Scholes calls it. By offering a human relation throughout itself, a commercial can link with the masses as though it's speaking to the individual viewer on an equal level. A commercial In his essay, Scholes analyzes a Budweiser commercial in an effort to prove his statements about the aforementioned tools.…

    Drinking underage can be linked to advertising that is very persuasive to the minors. These advertisements, some say target children, but the alcohol companies deny. In efforts to prove the people wrong; alcohol companies have put forth their part into making an advertisement discouraging alcohol abuse. The advertisements make the young minded minors to think drinking can put on physical attractiveness, it is fun, or gives special powers to make the person better at athletics. Some would say the audience that is targeted in the beer advertisements, such as Bud Light, are indeed minors, seeing an alcoholic beverage and having the appeal to take action are different. One of the advertisements by Bug Light were shown on the Super Bowl commercials of people stranded on an island; they found a radio, but instead of using it to find help, they found a cart of alcoholic beverages and showed them having the best time on the island. The reality of this commercial is saying to teens, if you drink alcohol you will have the best time of your life. Especially, when those minors are being pressured into by their peers to take the shot,…

    various media for exposure through sponsorship, television is the most effective and constitutes a relatively cheap form of advertising. Carlsberg beers, for example, might sponsor Liverpool Football Club to the tune of two million pounds, but, if the team has a successful year, the distinctive Carlsberg logo will be seen on our television screens for the full ninety minutes of a dozen or more league and cup games. Other games will have their highlights shown, plus the best goals will get repeated ad nauseam, so there could well be upwards of thirty hours of television time in which we are constantly reminded that Carslberg beers are the sponsors of Liverpool F.C.…

    My personal opinion that I maintain is that I agree with having restrictions on alcoholic beverages’ advertisements on TV, by focusing more on responsible drinking and on problems that drinking causes every year because of irresponsibility of its consumer. I also stand by my opinion because young people are negatively affected by those ads, since there are no messages for responsible action while drinking.…
