Advertising and youth drinking
Filed in archive Studies on January 3, 2006
The link between advertising and teenage drinking:
Young people who are exposed to advertisements for alcohol are likely to drink more, a US study suggests.
University of Connecticut researchers interviewed 1,872 people aged between 15 and 26 over a two-year period.
The journal Archives of Pediatrics and adolescent Medicine reports they found that for each extra advert experienced a month, 1% more drinks were consumed.

Not much of a discovery. It is already known that advertising affects the choices of people over buying the product. And this is obviously one of the major reasons why we are enticed to buy a certain thing. I have heard of a country/place that do not cater to commercials because of the effect it has over the people's choices. I forgot the name but the idea is true.
