Abercrombie T-Shirts Promote Drinking. Not Really

While Abercrombie & Fitch will explain it away as some sort of reverse psychology, others think the new alcohol themed t-shirts promote underage drinking. With slogans like “Sotally Tober,” “If you can read this, you need another cocktail” and “Bad girls chug. Good girls drink quickly,” there’s no hiding the message. However, no kid is going to wear a shirt that says, “Gee, drinking is really bad. You shouldn’t do it.” At least these shirts might spark discussion about drinking and older folks ought to realize most kids aren’t stupid enough to think A & F would promote drinking any more than they would promote Nazism.
