Persuasive Essay On Beer

Miley Cyrus sings, “Red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere, hands in the air like we don't care, 'cause we came to have so much fun now.” (as cited in Davis et al, 2013). As such an influential role model for many college students, Miley promotes carless drinking in her hit song ‘We Can’t Stop’. The rates of students who drink in college are very high and are leading to further problems. As found on College Drinking Prevention.gov, “According to the 2015 NSDUH, 58.0 percent of full-time college students ages 18–22 drank alcohol in the past month compared with 48.2 percent of other persons of the same age” (par. 1). College drinking in the United States is leading to an increase in alcohol related deaths, suicides, and academic issues. To decrease the rate of unhealthy college drinking in the United States, the legal drinking age should either be lowered, or the professors in the colleges and universities should make their students workloads heavier.

Budweiser Beer’s famous TV advertisement, “Friends Are Waiting,” was one of the most popular ads to air during Super Bowl 2014. The advertisement has helped encourage people to drink responsibly by taking into consideration friends and family members that could be affected should they choose to drive drunk. Budweiser has pulled on the heartstrings of many through the bond of love and friendship between a man and his dog. The company uses strong emotions to lure in its viewers but, it ultimately lacks in effective credibility and facts.

Advertisements are literally everywhere, from ad pop-ups on your computer to the billboards you can see driving down the road. The purpose of these advertisements are to sell a specific item to an audience. The audience being the consumers and the ads being products such consumers purchase, the advertisements try to persuade the viewers that they need that item and that they should buy their companies product. While Schneider alcoholic beverages attempt to sell their product to adults through their advertisements by using very suggestive advertisement method which sexualized alcohol. In addition to using ethos, pathos, and logos to draw in their audience. Lastly, how this sexualized imagery is effecting the world

There is a problem in the controversy of whether or not twenty-one is the appropriate legal drinking age. Many state that they believe it should be higher, but I feel that it should be lowered to eighteen. Underage drinking has been a controversial issue for years but it is still not under control. Teens keep trying to buy alcohol with fake identification cards, drink, get into bars, and drink illegally. Some sneak into twenty-one and up areas. As a teen myself, I have seen that these things are happening right now in the world. Not only in college but in high school it was happening as well. There are a lot of facts that help reason with why the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen; the most obvious reason is too many people are drinking before they are twenty-one. Some liquor stores, bars, and clubs all want to make money and if they can get away with selling to underage teens then they will and don’t care. It is clear that the law has not been working in preventing undreage teens from drinking.

Almost everyone can agree that alcohol should not be given or allowed to children or young adults under a certain age. Alcohol is a substance that is very dangerous and if you used incorrectly or immaturely the consequences can be great danger to the users or the ones around them. The topic of lowering the drinking age has been in discussion for many decades. “Between 1970 and 1976, 29 states lowered their age for drinking alcohol. The results were catastrophic. Highway deaths among teenagers and young adults skyrocketed. Almost immediately, states began raising the minimum drinking age again.” “In 1984, Congress passed the Uniform Drinking Age Act, which required states to have a minimum drinking age of 21 for all types of alcohol

In the United States today many teens have the problem of underage drinking. Whether they do it to look cool or to have fun, it is an enormous problem. In fact, one our four teens state that the would ride with a driver that is intoxicated (“Underage Drinking”). This shows that teenagers and not only irresponsible with alcohol, but also uniformed of the serious consequences. Although the rates of underage drinking have dropped within time, there are still ways to lower these rates more (Klass). With much research and problem solving, I have come up with three different ways to lessen the issue of underage drinking. The three options I focused my research on was changing the way colleges teach, lowering the drinking age, and informing

Underage drinking is one of the biggest problems teens are facing.Alcohol is the most commonly used and abused beverage among youth in the United States (centers for disease control and prevention).Alcohol is being consumed by minors each day in the united states. Excessive drinking is responsible for more than 4,300 deaths among underage youth each year, and cost the U.S. $24 billion in economic costs each year (centers for disease control and prevention).

There are studies that show that our youth are influenced by what they watch on television. Companies spend millions of dollars creating ads that will entice a person to buy their product. Unfortunately, this form of adverstising does not stop with reaching adults. These ads are seen by millions of teenagers, and the influence is based on how attractive or fun the ads seem to be. Advertising beer commercials, especially during the Super Bowl, reach youth all over world, and it sends the wrong message to our youth.

These kind of advertisements target any age group, from young to old. Alcohol ads can poison the mind of teenagers and make them believe that drinking can really bring all the pleasures portrayed in the advertisements. Alcoholic advertisements should be banned it also portray alcohol as an enhancement to the youth which would be tempting them to drink and putting their lives at risk. Most alcohol industries used cartoon and animal characters to attract young viewers to alcohol in the 1990s, with frogs, lizards, and dogs, which were overwhelmingly admired by youth. Underage drinking continues to get worse because of a lack of regulations, if the alcohol industry know it can comfortably target which ever audience they wish what is stopping them from targeting an even younger

In the united states underage drinking is becoming an issue by teens dieing with alcohol being related. As a teenager, you are either curious to drink alcohol and see what happens when you drink. Also teens may be pressured by others to drink alcohol and mo]st of them drink it to fit in the crowd. Teenagers drink even though they know the effects can be very harmful. Underage drinking can result in domestic violence and many others. When teenagers drink most of them don't know how much their body can take and how bad alcohol affects them. Most teens are binge drinkers which means the consumption of an excessive amount of alcohol in a short period of time. Underage drinking is a problem not only on Kauai but the whole United States. We need to fix this problem by raising awareness to all teens and let them know all the dangers that alcohol brings. Also our elders need to show teenagers all the negative effects that can happen while under the influence of alcohol. Underage drinking is a problem and it needs to be stopped

Underage drinking has been a huge problem in the United States of America. Underage drinking need to be regulated more closely so it can be stopped. Unfortunately, minors tend to see drinking as an adult thing which makes it fall into the category of being “cool”. More teenagers are giving into peer pressure and are getting involved in the consumption of alcohol. A study done in 2003 by the U.S Department of Health and Human Resources shows that most teenagers start drinking at the age of fourteen years old. This is a massive problem because teenagers have not completely developed yet. The consumption of alcohol can cause major damage to their brain. This is a topic that can bring a lot of families across the world to tears. To think

In this day and age, when it comes to alcohol consumption and laws of alcohol use in countries around the world, many people debate about whether the legal drinking age should be raised, lowered, or stay the same. What about a society where alcohol would be illegal?? Well, when it comes to the sheer number of deaths that occur from drunk driving alone, you’d end up agreeing with it. To add to this, addiction is always a risk to be taken into consideration, because it leads to alcohol poisoning, eventually causing death. All in all, alcohol is something that is just as addictive as any other drug, and should it be treated as an illegal drug as well. The following are just some of the many reasons why this should be so.

As you begin to read this, while you are sitting at your desk or relaxing at home, someone else just got the call that their child, who was riding home from school with a friend, is dead. Someone was driving under the influence, and struck her daughter and her friend head on. They died before the medics could arrive, and any last goodbye was gone forever. The person who killed their daughter is an underage drinker, and has been drinking since he was fifteen years old. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in about forty-nine minutes someone else in America will get their life taken away because of the same reason. The problem is obviously alcohol, but what can we do to fix it? Well Ms. Bice, instead of passing

Alcohol is and will continue being a part of our society so we need to develop an educated attitude to it. Simply banning commercials due to there being a risk is not a solution. What the advertisers are doing is trying to influence adults to drink their brand, not young people. I do believe commercials and alcohol advertising can be extremely damaging to young people who use these messages to form their relationship with alcohol. Without alcohol sponsorship, supporters of many sporting events and music concerts/festivals would find it much more difficult to afford events. My suggestion to help curb the topic of banning or not banning alcohol commercials is to allow companies promote their brand during certain hours throughout the

I personally feel that breweries and distilleries should not have to give up their right to promote sporting events and venues; this is how they keep their business alive. For example, during the 2003 Super Bowl, “fifteen of these (55) commercials were beer or malt liquor ads” (article 44: 531). People should be allowed to kick back and have a good time while drinking a beer, but should not allow their drinking to be an excuse for extremely stupid or violent behavior. The majority of the ads for beer are directed towards men, showing them that “when drinking with the guys, a man can feel close to his friends, perhaps even drape an arm over a friend’s shoulder, embrace him, or tell him that he loves him” (article 44: 533). To show men that this
