You can turn off targeted ads on most platforms so the ads you get are useless.
But you are right, when searching for anti drinking info ads for drinking shouldn't appear. I seem to remember there was a alcohol shop that was giving discounts for drinks if you gave them your sober token things you get.
A lot of bars will give you free drinks if you give them your sobriety coin from AA.
Unethical life pro tips: visit AA meetings to get sobriety coins and exchange them for free drinks.
You can probably just buy the coins online lmao
But they would not be free.
AA sourced sobriety coins cost a LOT trust me. You dont ever want to have to find out. Not that they charge you for the coins (they do not), but whatever landed you in there likely cost you more than some online coins would, is my point.
People are talking about going to AA just for the sobriety coins. I don't think they're actually doing it earnestly because they really have a problem they want AA to help them with. So nothing actually "landed" them there.
You never know, maybe my problem is lack of money for drinks.
You're fun at parties huh
Been there, you have to actually have been a regular member for those said months until you can earn tokens. I don't think the elders give them out to randos on the street.
Are they less than a drink? I sense an arbitrage opportunity.
and you get to fuck over a bar owner who is a piece of shit so there is that
I don't believe this
it's a big world. Any conceivable promotion you could think of us being done in at least a few places. Can't imagine its common though
I’ve definitely heard of bars offering free non alcoholic drinks to DD’s but I can’t imagine any trying to get AA coins in exchange for alcohol that’s crazy.
It's very common, Google it for your location
No they don’t.

A simple google search disproves that.
A "simple goodge search" is not the same thing as some shit snopes article that i can tell isn't right, from direct life experience. IDGAF what snopes says. its a real thing, and its stupidly easy to find. I'm not telling you how to google, even though you clearly suck at it.
Holy hell, that's straight up evil if true. I hope the bad PR ran them out of business.
You can buy the coins for as little as £0.75 each (~$1) https://www.recovery12.co.uk/newcomer-aa-medallions-67-c.asp Then go to a bar and get a drink for almost nothing.
