Commercials for liquor/beer/wine

Something that REALLY annoys me is that alcohol companies create commercials that make drinking look really COOL. Think about who’s saying this… It’s ME saying it… and I’ve never had a drop in my life and I never expect to and I abhor alcohol in general. What is this world coming to if even I think that beer/liquor/wine commercials are cool. AND, they’re effective, too (duh).
Examples off the top of my head
Budweiser “King of Beers” with this mp3
Bacardi’s Barcadi & Cola guys
Captain Morgan’s “She’s [or He's] got a little Captain in her [him]”
Smirnoff’s “Antarctica: the biggest party island of them all”
Bombay Sapphire’s modern samurai-type carving ice into the shape of a glass with a katana
I wish that people cared about OTHER PEOPLE as much as they do about making friggin’ alcohol commercials look cool.
What you said. I’m sort of anti-alcohol myself, though I just saw a beautiful Hennessey ad tonight.
