Don't Gamble Your Life On A Night Out Drinking

I don't advocate gambling. I believe that if you have a better use for the money you should spending it on that.
However, I am tired of people saying that people who gamble are one step away from losing everything and becoming homeless. Ok most exercise poor judgement and are to be pittied.
But, I think that all these opinions and feelings should be directed at people who binge drink. Binge drinkers can become alcoholics, lose everything and become homeless just as easily as problem gamblers. In a way they are worse because they can get into a car while drunk kill themselves, whoever is in the car and take out a couple of pedestrians on the way.
If we pittied them, shovelled the guilt on with an industrial sized shovel and stopped telling them how cool it is to drink that might help. I think someone should create an advertisement about how someone who has been drinking for 30 years looks at 50 compared to a light drinker or non drinkers. Maybe an appeal to vanity might reach the girls.
I don't think that the ads showing the seedy side of a night out drinking help. They see that every time they go out and are probably desensitised to it.
Throw away the cocktails and drink the mocktails. Anna
