This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not directly subsidized, but definitely different treatment than other drugs thanks to successfull lobbying in Germany. Alcohol can far more easy sponsor and advertise e.g. Or the rage of the conversatives when weed got legalized (badly in comparison of course) this year, while they really like to take photos at Germany's greatest drug convention (Oktoberfest) or get themself "elected" to Wine Queen/Beer Kind of boring region X.
§8 (10) MStV:
Of course, that's vague AF to the point where you can argue both that anything but "Hey let's portray binge drinking as cool" is a-ok and on the other hand that portraying any kind of positive association with alcohol is not ok. And considering how the regulators somehow refuse to shut down right-out scam call-in shows there's not much hope for them to interpret that in a way advertisers would disagree with (advertisers have their own rules because shitstorms against their behaviour are not good advertisement).
Talking about political strategy though, I don't think that's a particularly good point to start, the first step should be warning labels, akin to tobacco. And yes I'm completely fine with the same kind of labels on coffee and tea and while we're at it ultra-processed food.
