NEW COORS AD GLORIFIES PROBLEM DRINKING

“The official beer of Saturday morning,” is the reprehensible (and that’s the only word that comes to mind) tag line for a new TV ad for Coors Light beer that appeared during the football games this past weekend. The ad depicts two roommates in their early to mid 20s who are pre- paring breakfast and then sit down on their couch to watch the football games while still clad in their pajamas. They then break out the Coors Lights while eating breakfast and watching TV. In our view, this ad represents a new low for a liquor industry that increasingly is targeting a younger and younger audience with messages that essentially equate having a good time with getting drunk. Right after the Coors ad came one for Budweiser’s Platinum Light beer. We did not know why it was called platinum so we looked it up. It turns out that regular Bud Light has an alcohol content of 4.2 percent, but Bud Platinum has an alcohol content of 6 percent. Here’s how Bud describes its Platinum product on its web site: “Platinum is back. And the memories are sure to follow. With a sleek new look and the same smooth, slightly sweet finish, it’s time to kick your night off the right way. The Platinum way.” In other words, “kick your night off” is a euphemism for becoming inebriated faster. And what about this line: “And the memories are sure to follow.” Really? Drunken memories will be something to remember? But the liquor industry is not the only one to blame. Universities also are now part and parcel of the problem of drawing-in underage drink- ers. As the Wall Street Journal recently reported, a growing number of colleges are striking deals for in-stadium beer sales and sponsorships, in part to combat declining ticket sales. The opioid crisis rightly has attracted national attention because of the number of overdose deaths attributable to drug abuse. However, the harm to individuals and society in general caused by drugs, legal and Explore the Freedom Trail after dark with lantern tours illegal, still pales in comparison to the harm caused by alcohol abuse.

PAGE 8 THE BEACON HILL TIMES OCTOBER 3, 2019 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY A short story about a motorcycle. And a sudden turn.

When she was a young college student, Elisabeth Marra had a serious motorcycle accident that ultimately changed her life. Two years after the crash, her painful open fractures had failed to heal. Then she heard about a new and complex surgery pioneered by a surgeon who used a patient’s own stem cells to concentrate the healing process. This time, her surgery and subsequent therapy were successful. Elisabeth’s experience caused her to re- direct her own career aspirations. Inspired by the medical professionals who helped her reclaim her active lifestyle, she changed her major to study physical therapy—a profession where her own experience could help other patients prevail through difficult recoveries. We tell Elisabeth Marra’s story here to illustrate two of the most profound messages By ZEN Associates, Inc. we know. Don’t give up, and remember to 800.834.6654 | gardisans.com give back.
