Health Benefits of Beer
Literature Review My topic that I chose for this lit review is beer. I decided to do beer because it is something that me and my dad have in common and can bond over. Beer is not just an alcoholic drink for me there is more substance there. Beer is interesting because every beer company makes their product differently. Also beer is one of the most sold products in the world and I would like to find more information of it.
Humanities:
Miller, Carl. “Beer and Television: Perfectly Tuned In.” All About Beer 25 Feb. 2008: 29.
The source Beer and Television: Perfectly Tuned In would fall under the category of Social Sciences. It would fall under this category because the article is about beer commercials and how it affects business. There is really only one way to judge a beer commercial and that is is if the commercial makes consumers buy the product. Every commercial is a little different but every one of them has the same message, buy my beer.
The article discusses the way the beer industry grew due to television. Every beer company realized they needed to make their product well known so that people would go out and buy it. These companies did this by creating short and sometimes funny commercials. The search for the perfect beer commercial has been around since the invention of the television in American culture in the 1940’s. In the 1940’s no one knew what a good commercial was because the television had just been made. Since the prohibition era had just ended beer breweries were wary of putting their product on the air at first. Some critics thought that this type of commercial intruded peoples’ living rooms and thought it offended people. For this reason the breweries only aired the commercials late at night and never on Sunday. The American bar was the first home of the television. In Chicago half of all television sales were bars. Meaning that the beer companies could target their product directly to the beer drinker in a bar stool. In

    The Boston Beer Company

    • 4185 Words
    • 17 Pages

    Overview The Boston Beer Company has had amazing success in its transition from a small scale microbrewer to a large scale national brewery. Almost all of the company’s success is due to the Samuel Adams Lager product line, which has hardly changed from the founding of the company in 1984, to the IPO in 1995, to the present day. In fact, much of the appeal of Samuel Adams comes from its microbrew image and the founder, Jim Koch’s, commitment to the brewing process and a premium beer. In recent years, however, the company has implemented a new strategy for growth which has included introducing a light beer that will have more mainstream appeal. While this has increased profits for the company, it has also left the company vulnerable to entry by diluting its brand name. For this reason, the company’s strategy for the immediate future has to make a significant shift, from a strategy of growth to a strategy of protection. It must focus on maintaining its current profits by preventing entry both from small breweries looking to copy the BBC’s strategy and from large breweries looking to use their expansive resources to steal some of BBC’s market share.…

    The Budweiser advertisements that ran in 1962, subconsciously suggests white supremacy over African Americans. This idea arises when readers see both advertisements, one that ran in African-American magazines and the other in white-oriented family magazines. At first glance, the advertisements imply that the only way to have a good time is by drinking Budweiser and it appeals to both African Americans and Caucasians, but when the two advertisements are contrasted there are significant differences that indicate unintentional racism. 1962 was a time period of Civil Rights Movement initiated by African Americans to gain equal rights whites had. Blacks had endured years of segregation and discrimination from whites.…

    1950s Consumerism

    • 1943 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The middle class was growing, and men and women were marrying not only for love but for security. Coupled with patriotism and security the role of the American home took on more than that of a house, but was the center of American strength and democracy. A symbol of status, the home was the center of all things considered to be American; consumer goods, values, and most importantly security. Beer, an American tradition as old as the country itself, had just been reintroduced to the American market not even twenty years early after the failure of prohibition, and its advertisements reflect the social view of the Patriotism. In a 1950’s run of advertisements by the United States Brewers foundation, that all use the catch phrase “Beer belongs…enjoy it” which is not meant to sale a specific beer, just beer itself. The advertisers show a ship entering New York harbor with the Statue of Liberty shining brightly in the background. (insert…

    To start off, the consumption of alcohol can and will cause significant physical damage to the body and mind. This is in the interest of alcohol being absorbed into the bloodstream, which affects the central nervous system and has such an immense control over all body functions. A human brain has not fully developed until the age of 25, which is why the legal drinking age should not be at the age of 21. It gives off harmful alterations in the functions of the development of the brain and therefore doesn’t give the brain the full amount of time that it needs to grow. While the brain is still developing, drinking a heavy amount may cause damages to certain brain functions and have lasting health effects. Some examples to body functions that can…

    Underage drinking is starting to become a widespread occurrence in the United States more than any other country in the world. The legal drinking age has always been a topic that creates controversy when brought up because many people disagree with the idea of becoming an adult at age 18 but having to wait until age 21 to consume alcohol. At age 18 in America we gain rights to vote, ability to marry, and can legally be tried as an adult in the judicial system, but whether we like it or not the human brain is still not fully developed at that point. In the United States, Americans should not be able to consume alcohol at age 18 because, although it is technically the age of adulthood, it would be detrimental to our youth and society as a whole.…
