re: Remind me why there was once no liquor ads on tv

You know, people claim we are a less restricted and free society, but I just don't see it. It seems to me that growing up in the late 60's, 70's and early 80's we were a much more liberty conscious people than today in many things. People wanted to smoke, frickit, let em enjoy their damn selves, and advertise if you will. Same for alcohol. I remember the Flintstones beer commercials.well, and they didn't make me want to drink, I already wanted to drink all by myself.

I'm not advocating vice preference or none at all, but shite if it's an open market, it's an open market right?
