Alcohol Advertising: Is What You See, What You Get?:
The Institute of Medicine, National Research Council report Reducing Underage Drinking:
A Collective Responsibility draws attention to the widespread exposure of alcohol advertising to youth as well as the substantial appeal of
alcohol advertising to youth. In light of this exposure, it is reasonable to assume widespread misperception among youth about effects of alcohol use.

limit youth exposure to alcohol promotion.
