Two sponsored advertisements for beer brands (Palm and Amstel). Found on a Dutch Facebook page on April 24th 2013. This account has never expressed interessed in alcohol brands (for example never 'liked' such brands). Yet still they appear, based on other data (demographic statistics, other likes, friends etc...). (Rest of the page blurred for privacy reasons).

Maker's Mark by Fortune Brands sponsored the American presidential elections in autumn 2008. The association between voting and and the alcohol industry is strongly accused by the Marine Institute, a watchdog of the industry: Maker's Mark & Rock the Vote Elections and booze should not be mixed - it confuses voting with drinking. Maker's Mark "Rock the Vote" sponsorship and ad campaign featuring red, white and blue dipped bottles is a farce. A prime audience for the "Rock the Vote" effort is 18-20 year olds, who are too young to legally drink and shouldn't be educated on civic duty by buses with whiskey ads. Maker's Mark trivializes the election claiming, "blue or red, Democrat or Republican, we're all united in one party: The Cocktail Party." Maker's Mark sponsorship of "Rock the Vote" - whose agenda is to "empower the 45 million young people in America" - is a disturbing and negative new direction in alcohol marketing to youth. Posturing as a campaign to drive voter registration, the Maker's Mark painted tour bus, slathered in larger-than-life bourbon bottles, is traveling throughout the US. Maker's Mark sponsorship of "Rock the Vote" irresponsibly suggests that youth old enough to take action on important political issues, should partake in the leading cause of death amongst their own age group (The US Surgeon General has estimated that 5,000 underage drinkers die every year). Underage drinking costs the US $61.9 billion dollars annually in alcohol-related incidents including motor vehicle and traumatic injuries, date rape, suicide, and disruption in education and employment. Maker's Mark is owned by Fortune Brands - a food and beverage conglomerate including over 50 spirits brands, such as Jim Beam, Sauza Tequila, VOX Vodka, and Starbucks Coffee Liqueur. Fortune Brands had $8.5 billion dollars in sales last year and lobbying expenditures of $60,000 in the second quarter this year alone. Hired guns, Holland & Knight, lobby in favor of their economic and political interests. The "Rock the Vote" bottle is a so-called limited edition collectible from Maker's Mark, whose grandiose tagline proclaims, "It tastes expensive ... and is." Expensive is right. Fortune Brands profits at the expense of public health and safety, using monetary influence to lobby in D.C. What were the fine young people at D.C. based "Rock the Vote" thinking? It is unconscionable that they have allowed Maker's Mark to leverage their 90 proof brand in the political process, masked as an initiative to empower youth...to do what...vote or drink?

heineken-trompet2001
This was one of the many Dutch promotional items during the European Football Championship. Two EC gadgets, a drum in the form of a hat (Heineken Trom-Pet) and a horn (Jupiler HollandHoorn) were very popular among the youngsters. Both promotional items were owned by almost a quarter of the youngsters during this championship. Another 40% indicated that they did not have the Heineken Trom-Pet but wanted to have it. Research has shown that possession of a promotional item of an alcohol producer is a strong predictor of drinking behaviour [3-5]. In the study of Mc Clure [5] a positive relationship between brand ownership and alcohol consumption was found as well: youngsters who owned more promotional items drank more alcohol.
