One of the most prominent areas of alcohol advertising is in the sports sector, which seems contradictory to the health and fitness associated with sport.
Tobacco has been distanced from sport for a very long time but today we hear why alcohol isn’t given the same treatment, despite being a harmful substance. We hear from a sports star who believes alcohol has no relation to the work he and his team do as athletes, and about the vested interests that makes legislation and monitoring of alcohol advertising so tricky.
Our expert guests are Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow, Dr. Robin Ireland, and Mayo footballer Pádraig O'Hora who also works with young people in the community.
THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT
● How watching sport exposes young people to alcohol
● Alcohol sponsorships and advertising with prolific sports people
● The contradictory message between alcohol and health and fitness
● Why marketing 0.0 products is still as harmful
● Problematic symptoms of alcohol even aside from addiction
