The alcohol industry should post warnings on their advertisements as to the dangers of drinking before, during and after pregnancy and other health warnings. The nature of their advertisements are to entertain and beguile people into the glamourous life of alcohol consumption. The alcohol industry fails to warn the public of potential dangers while consuming the products is as irresponsible as the tobacco industry. Other drug manufacturers have to post warnings...why not the alcohol industry? Alcohol is, after all, a legal drug with the potential for extremely dangerous outcomes.
