A Tshwane study on alcohol marketing and 16-17 y/o adolescent alcohol consumption found that >80% of the adolescents in the study reported exposure to alcohol advertisements during the 6 months prior to the study. Data suggest that this exposure is associated with alcohol use among older adolescents. Advertising likely gives rise to an unrealistically positive view of alcohol without showing the more negative aspects.
