Beer ads promote festive drinking
December 27, 2008 Saturday, 05:56 AM

THIS Christmas was not really jolly for me as I witnessed more of our youngsters taking to drinking beer to celebrate the occasion. I saw youngsters and boys and girls in their early teens drunk outside pubs and at heartland coffee shops. Many of them were smoking too.

I agree with you Jolly. It wouldn be too "bad" if the ad has some "adults" endorsing the beer rather than kids like Fiona Xie and Michelle Chia.

Bad choice CARLSBERG!!

Just curious, with teens drunk outside pubs, wouldn't it be easy for authorities to book these teens and charge the pubs for serving drinks to underage teens? Same goes for smoking? All the evidence/proof is available so the authorities only need to show up, get their booking slips and pens ready.... :p

It is very sad to see Anchor Beer going all out to lure people to take to beer drinking. Alcohol is a drug and I ahve seen my friends in Mangkaka commiting suicide because of drugs.Alcoholics who come to a very weak AA programme thiink that they are a class above the narcoba boys but really they are no better but unfortunately it started with that simple social drink. Be civilized man and drink like an angmo, like an aussie . What a horrendous sight for me to see beautiful buffoons inviting gullible youths to join them at SENTOSA.
If this symbolises our resolution for the coming volatile years, God help us all. Aameen.

Hey..dont be silly lor...beer is not a big intoxicating drink. it is just barley water with 3% alcohol. And somehow even Goh Chok Tong promoted Tiger Beer openly. Wake up sleepy soul.

In Singapore, the fine for drink driving is very light. A fine and driving suspension. Even those hit-and -run drivers while driving get get away no heavy sentences. While driving, you are king.

Beer, cigarettes or alcohol beverage are normally too exorbitant to the common teens. Most alcoholic friends I knew started from the house. Casual drinking at a young age, with the bo chup parents attitude. (festive season, once in a while, got extra beer, be a man...)

If anything to goes by, the parents should be at more fault than the beet companies.

All acoholic drinks will only cause the body to dehyrate at the brain at cellular levels, and hence cause the drinker thirsty for free-water to be taken. But alas, many drinkers do not know better to remedy this dehyration of the brain cells and continue to drink more beer/alcoholic drinks and over time will cause other organs (kidneys, liver) to fail and most cases were to late to reverse this bio-physiology chronic dehydration.

If you must drink at all, the remedy to safeguard your organs is to replenish with two glasses of the same size of plain water for every single glass of beer. Stronger hard drinks need more than two glasses of water.
happy to discover this water-cure protocol at http://theinnozablog.blogspot.com
