Study: Alcohol ads specifically and discriminately targeted black youths

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

A new report shows that African-Americans ages 12 to 20 are seeing more advertisements for alcohol in magazines, on the Internet and TV compared to others in their age group, reports WABE.

“It’s nothing new and it’s a trend that’s been building for a while,” the station reports.

The report, by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health says: “At least 14 longitudinal studies have found a significant association between youth exposure to alcohol marketing and underage drinking, even after controlling for other factors that could potentially influence this relationship (e.g., socioeconomic status and parenting style). Specifically, these studies have found that youth exposure to alcohol marketing can increase the likelihood that young people will start drinking at younger ages, and, if they already consume alcohol, that they will drink more, increasing the risk of alcohol-attributable harms."

The study continues, "Research has also shown that young people who initiate drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence and five or more times as likely to experience alcohol-related injuries as those who wait until age 21 to start drinking."

CACs have been doing this kind of shyt non-stop for centuries. Keep non CAC people drunk and drugged so they are useful cheap labour and so they'll buy endless crap from CAC corporations.
