Alcohol is a complex issue and as such can not be resolved with just one measure such as banning advertisements. But its a step in right direction. At least this way government will show its not endorsing it.
Education about it is very important and probably most important. We can never stop people from buying it and abusing it. Some people will always drink too much just as some people will smoke regardless of packaging.
We wouldn't be free society if we don't have freedom of choice even if its knowingly harming yourself.
