Drinking Arguments

• The awareness of alcohol consumption can be harmful to personal healthiness and society (drunk-driving, violation etc.) may have unfavourable effects on beer companies.

Introductory statement: The debate if alcohol should be allowed at college sports venues can be very intense. Many fans that go to these events want to enjoy a cold beverage and should not be restricted to enjoying that beverage just because they are at a college sporting event. According to ESPN.com news services, there are only 21 on-campus football stadiums that allow drinking (2014, para. 3). This number should be higher because there are benefits to allowing alcohol at a college sporting event. Just because a few fans get too rowdy doesn’t mean everyone should suffer and not be allowed to drink.

An alcohol ad is very capable doing many things to people starting from the ages whenthey start to feel rebellious. The ad can hide many lies that help convince people to startdrinking. Things on the ad say that drinking can be fun, that it is good(healthy) for you, andcould help quench the thirst, as well as many other benefits. My opinion on this is that alcoholads should not be allowed to be shown around areas where there are people under the minimumrequirement of the drinking age.Right out, you can see that the people in this certain ad are “having fun”. At the sametime, the words on the ad helps reinforce the thought that it is fun to drink Bud Light, which is atype of beer. The picture on the ad hints at the idea that males would get more girls or have morefun while drinking Bud Light, encouraging them

One cannot argue against the economic benefits that universities across the country would be rewarded for lifting the beer-ban. Not only can the athletic department acquire over-the-counter sales, but “they can also sell exclusive rights to beer companies to rake in even more cash” (Martin). These lucrative revenue streams make lifting the beer-ban very enticing to students and staff alike. Just because something is enticing doesn’t always mean it is morally just. However, in the case of lifting the beer-ban at college sporting events, by allowing the sale of alcohol at college sporting events statistics have proven that it hinders the act of binge-drinking.

On behalf of colleges all over the United States, student councils signed the Amethyst Initiative to which they would like to see the legal drinking age lowered. The initiative urges debate about current policy and calls for change in legislation. In the article “Leave the minimum drinking age to the states,” Cook (2010) supports lowering the minimum drinking age with several modifications. According to Cook, life and liberty can be preserved if officials raise alcohol taxes, and enacted suitable regulation.

I understand that, at least for me at the time, drinking was a way of connecting with friends, to socialize with strangers, and to alleviate the shyness. But in hindsight, I noticed there was a change from wanting to needing a drink.  It was a way to deal with the tree of work and life itself. Years later now my wife and son are in the picture, I do my best not drink "that much" at home, but still finding a myriad of excuses to do so.

Think about this. Early man survived by eating one hundred percent of his calories and drinking plain water. No liquid calories! Today, the average American receives more than one fifth of their calories from soft drinks, fruit juices, milk, alcohol, and recently sports drinks, coffee and tea.

The first advertisements viewed looked at were of women and men being objectified by being barely dressed and posed in provocative positions. The objectification of women has been a prominent issue for women’s rights activists, but men are rarely seen as being objectified. The first advertisement observed was a Budweiser ad. This ad showed an oversize bottle of beer with a fit woman leaning against it wearing a red bikini. The woman is lying up against the bottle in a provocative manner. This ad is suggesting that the woman is just as good to “consume” as the beer itself. It is also a great example of how companies strategize to get peoples attention. This ad is clearly geared towards men who then buy this

Nakae Chomin wrote A Discourse by Three Drunkards on Government in 1887. It is a work of debate literature that presents us with multi-dimensional characters with very specific and indefinable beliefs about how Japan should be run. Nakae Chomin studied in France for some time and this certainly must have influenced his thoughts and writings.

After reading the article I found that there are two import messages in the article. The author of “Alcohol Ads Do Not Promote Underage Drinking” explain this when they noted “however serious the problem of underage consumption of beer and liquor, there are countervailing values that are implicated when speech restrictions are proposed”. Also when the author stated “the choice between preserving core 1st Amendment values and regulating ads for alcoholic beverages is a particularly easy one when there is little evidence of any connection between those ads and underage drinking”. The assumptions underlying the author’s views are stated when the author explained in the starting of the paragraph “never mind that our drinking laws are absurd. An 18-year-old is presumably mature enough to sign contracts, get married, have an abortion, go to war and decide who is going to run the country. But she or he is three years away from coping with the weighty implications of consuming a can of beer”. This statement from the author implies that agt the age of 18 years old when give our young people the responsibility to do some many things that they should be old enough to make their own decision on drinking. No advertisement should persuade them to drink if they don't want to as much as them being persuade making a decision to

Good evening Mr/Madam Chairman, ladies and gentleman. The topic for our debate tonight is that “That we should not allow the selling of alcoholic beverages in Melbourne pubs, clubs and stores between 12am and 6am”. We, the affirmative team support this argument.

Alcohol is a drug that is classified as a central nervous system depressant. There are three forms of alcohol, beer, wine and distilled spirits. Alcohol is one of the most commonly used drugs in the United States and has more adverse effects that most other drugs combined. There are many aspects to consider when thinking about alcohol as a drug.

Alcohol is also has a great causation in crimes committed by users, social, medical, and educational problems as a

Eighteen-year olds throughout the United States are considered legal adults in almost every way, with one notable exception: the privilege of having an alcoholic beverage.

Sometimes those campaigns make the brewery industry looking very bad since usually the blame is laid exclusively on them for making alcohol so easily available.

Alcohol – it’s a dangerous, harmful, international drug. It's legal… but you must be aware of the effects. Just a miuisule dose of alcohol can change your life – forever.
