Well, imo, in an average household most kids will see their parents drink a beer, or have a glass of wine. Not very often will they keep the hard stuff in the house(most don't drink it anyway). In my experience with visiting family and friends, that is the case. So if they are trying to go the way of a family event, I can see that. I don't see what the big deal is.

Six, it's not about "family values", it's about the apparent hypocrisy of NASCAR to allow certain alcohol companies to sponsor a Cup car and other can not. I see your point and agree with it but why are beer companies allowed to sponsor and hard liquor companies aren't? That's what the big deal is.

Yes, TV, the bastion of consistency. I can't see commercials for liquor or tobacco, but wine coolers, beer, and an endless of array drugs for erectile disfunction and vaginal itching are okay.
