Restaurants Fight the Don’t Drink Trend

In a welcome display of un-PC behavior, a new advertisement from the American Beverage Institute encourages people to have a drink before they go home. This is in response to the overwhelming anti-drinking trend that has emerged over the past few years.

“These overly conservative messages tell responsible Americans that they’re wrong in going out and having a glass of beer, a glass of wine or a cocktail at dinner, or at a sports venue, and driving home,” said Paul Avery, president of the Outback Steakhouse restaurant chain and the American Beverage Institute. “We’re just trying to protect ourselves.”

So do your part. Drink and Drive.
