Victoria Province\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tac.vic.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transport Accident Commission<\/a> is famous for its emotionally-charged commercials that show graphic depictions of crashes.

The nonprofit organization was founded in 2005 by some of the country\u2019s alcohol producers and distributors with a mission to promote \u201ca healthier and safer drinking culture in Australia.\u201d But <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldsun.com.au\/news\/opinion\/surely-weve-ad-enough-of-glorifying-grog\/story-fni0fhie-1226844112245?from=herald+sun_rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">some critics<\/a> are suggesting that the campaign, titled \u201cDrinking. Do it Properly.\u201d uses the guise of responsibility to actually promote drinking, to the benefit of the alcohol&#160;industry.<\/p>\n<p>The short, animated videos show the differences between \u201cclassy\u201d drinking and &#8220;getting wasted.&#8221; According to the ads, \u201cprofessional\u201d drinkers know their limit and stop when they have reached \u201cthe realm of drinking excellence.\u201d \u201cAmateurs,\u201d on the other hand, wear beer helmets and become so inebriated that they lose control of\u00a0bodily functions\u2014in the entryway of\u00a0their girlfriend\u2019s parent\u2019s&#160;house.<\/p>\n<p>The spots depict the unpleasantness of\u00a0getting completely plastered, but they simultaneously glamorize drinking. The black and white videos make visual allusions to James Bond and <i>Mad&#160;Men\u2019s<\/i> Don Draper\u2014two of the most famous drinkers in pop culture. (Never mind that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theweek.co.uk\/film\/56510\/james-bond-high-risk-sexual-dysfunction-and-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UK docs recently concluded<\/a> that James Bond\u2019s copious alcohol consumption would cause the\u00a0spy to suffer from tremors and impotence.) The DrinkWise narrator appears in a mod-style suit and speaks with a vaguely British accent. And while discussing \u201cproper\u201d drinking, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WBnoXi4-8WY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he sips a martini in one ad<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ob9tdrazWgM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">holds a highball and pets a tiger<\/a> in another. The underlying message seems to be that drinking too much is bad, but drinking just the \u201cright\u201d amount will turn you into better,\u00a0more sophisticated\u00a0version of&#160;yourself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3186\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3186\" style=\"width: 588px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DrinkWise-588x246.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3186 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DrinkWise-588x246.jpg\" alt=\"Responsible drinking campaign glamorizes drinking\" width=\"588\" height=\"246\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New social responsibility ads glamorize &#8220;proper drinking&#8221; by referencing<br \/>iconic boozers like James Bond and Don Draper (right).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Interestingly, the ads aren\u2019t readily found on the DrinkWise website but do appear on their Facebook page and YouTube channel. The campaign even has its own web address: <a href=\"http:\/\/howtodrinkproperly.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/howtodrinkproperly.com<\/a>. We caution that some of the videos are inappropriate\u00a0and use mildly offensive language.

But that isn\u2019t always the case. In the U.S. the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centurycouncil.org\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Century Council<\/a>\u2014which is also funded by distillers\u2014has earned recognition for its programs and PSAs to address alcohol-related problems like drunk driving and underage&#160;drinking.<\/p>\n<p>Others have argued that the DrinkWise ads take a practical approach by drawing a clear distinction between responsibly enjoying alcohol and drunkenness.
