Anti-Alcohol Ad Campaigns

By Alex in Advertising, Pictures on Jan 22, 2008 at 4:17 am

To show the isolating consequences of being caught drink driving (or drunk driving for us Yanks) last Christmas, ad agency Leo Burnett London created this image of an actual convicted drunk driver trapped under a giant upturned pint glass.

The Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand (ALAC) also has an ad campaign with similar themes running:


Hangover kitchen


Hangover family

The ads are captioned: Was last night really worth it? It’s not the drinking. It’s how we’re drinking. Link

    What are you trying to achieve with alcohol?

    new flavours, good company, new ambients, unforgettable moments, strong sensations, be the star

    Don’t do it artbot! If you drink, you’ll be trapped under a giant glass, like a bug! You’ll run out of air within an hour! Is drinking really worth suffocation??

    I am getting sick of the anti smoking campaigns and the “marijuana is the devil” campaigns. The real killer out there is alcohol. I just read on MSN that some colleges want to lower the drinking age, it should be raised to 65 or made illegal. Alot more harm has come to people in general from drinking than the others combined. But, I know that alcohol will not be made illegal considering the fact that they even drink it in the bible… what does that tell you!

    Anything that puts a dime in the pockets of the lawmakers will stay. When I choose to drink, I have a responsibility to not only myself but to others as far as driving goes. I don’t want the lives of my family members on the line so I wouldn’t do it to anyone else’s family.
