Researching alcohol interventions for a friend. I’ve seen more ads for alcohol than ever in my life - Lemmy.world

I have a friend who’s alcohol consumption has gotten out of control. Me and his other friends/family are planning an intervention and so I’ve been doing a lot of research/reading on the topic. NEVER and I mean NEVER have I seen so many fucking ads for alcohol in my LIFE. Instagram? 15 ads in a half hour of scrolling reels. YouTube? Ads. Google results? Ads. Twitter? Ads. It’s fucking everywhere and it’s SICK. I’m researching how to help someone stop drinking and I’m getting inundated with ads for anything from gin, beers, vodkas and more. I can’t even imagine having an alcohol issue and trying to find help for myself with the web being this way. It’s fucking sick.

I wish they had an official account on Lemmy because I’d like to ask them some questions:

  • why do giant slugs and porcupines keep bound prisoners?
  • why do mobs suddenly come out from underground? Just becasue it made sens with zergs, doesn’t mean it will make sens with everything

Don’t let me start talking about movement because it’ll turn into a rant.
