Absolute fringe opinion even in Germany. Most shops and bars refuse to serve 0.0 to teens below legal drinking age (which already is ridiculously low), ads also don't target them.

Hahaha what weird corner do you live in? Completely unbelievable in Bavaria.

Not saying that I like the drinking culture here, but you're not describing the reality here.

[–] creamfresh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

yeah should have guessed it's Bavaria

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, you should have guessed Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hamburg, or Sachsen, which have higher per capita alcohol consumption than Bavaria.

[–] creamfresh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

per capita alcohol consumption =/= drinking culture

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah exactly: this is a thread where I said that kids drinking non-alcoholic beer is fine. What you just said agrees with me here, so I'm glad I made my point.

[–] Fawkes@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Below drinking age, sure. I think the nonsense here is that the US considers you "Under age" until you're 21. So you're complaining about an ad targeting children, when the target is literally "Anybody under the age of 21." Which is an unfair complaint to make.

Because using that same logic, "under age" porn is actually legal. Because at 18 you can get fucked in the ass by 3 dudes at once, but not buy a beer.

I hear you say "But there are different ages for X and Y." Yeah, but it's the exact same term used to mean the same idea with completely different ranges and neither has any justification beyond "Uh... Here's the cut-off I guess?"

Would you take issue with 18yr olds having beer ads aimed at them? Because that's technically "Under Age Beer!" And they'd be considered full adults here in Germany.

[–] creamfresh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes I take issue with alcohol ads aimed at anybody.

[–] Fawkes@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure, I'm not against that at all. I hate advertisements and would take no issue with a universal ban. My problem was with the arbitrary moral outrage at this advertisement targeting "Children," by virtue of the utterly meaningless phrase "Under Age," which includes actual, legitimate adults, in the US.

[–] creamfresh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It‘s pushing the boundaries with the emphasis (UNDER AGE) but I’m with you.

[–] Fawkes@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Only because the boundary has been set to include genuine adults. That boundary SHOULD be pushed.
