Am I the only one that thinks “Wheatley so good I drink it neatly,” encourages alcoholism?

Totally. Everyone knows the way to drink responsibly is throwing in a couple rocks.

I don’t drink, and I dislike the taste of most alcohol, and even I think that’s silly.

Drinking any hard liquor neat is better than adding a mixer, which speeds up absorption of the alcohol, making you drunk faster. And, since you are actually seeing the amount of alcohol in your glass and drinking it slower rather than downing a glass of the same amount of alcohol that’s simply watered down, which makes it easier to tolerate, this is the better way to control your alcohol intake.

No, but it sounds a bit clunky

Anyone who has experienced life with an addiction (🙋🏾‍♂️) can tell you something being easy to drink has zero to do with alcoholism. We don't need any help from ads to fuel the addiction, can promise you that!

This is so bizarre. Many cultures drink vodka neat. It might be an acquired taste for you but it certainly doesn’t necessitate alcoholism. If it’s a good vodka, there’s no problem.

All alcohol ads encourage drinking alcohol

My point is all alcohol is an acquired taste. So I’d think you’d have to drink a lot of vodka to be able to drink it neat, I also don’t like the taste of vodka. But apparently I’m a fucking idiot.

Yes, because alcoholics are known for only drinking the finest of liquors in the proper glass and, as the ad says, neatly.

The alcohol industry in its current state in America is predicated on an addicted population when you break the numbers down on who is drinking how much. All alcohol advertising is perpetuating a societal problem regardless of the copy.
