Talk Back to BIG Alcohol!

  Talk Back!
 

The alcohol industry spends billions so
we’ll see alcohol ads everywhere--TV, radio, billboards, magazines, concerts, sports arenas and more. It’s mostly a one-way conversation--they talk, we listen. Worse, many ads violate the industry’s own marketing codes.

Just use our easy, 3-step system to help
you "talk back" to Big Alcohol. You'll need to know when and where you saw the ad, what alcohol product it promotes, and why you feel the ad is irresponsible. In just a few minutes you can print a customized letter and mail it to the right alcohol trade organization. We'll even make sure the Federal Trade Commission (which oversees advertising) gets a copy of your complaint.
