Abstract
The proposed amendment to the National Roads Traffic Regulations banning alcohol advertising is a step in the right direction. A growing body of research shows a strong association between alcohol advertising and drinking among youth. These relationships are often complex, but one thing is clear: the media has the propensity to foster positive attitudes to alcohol use as trendy and appealing.-
