Alcohol Advertising Rules

Self-regulatory codes (DISCUS, Beer Institute, Wine Institute in the US) and platform policies requiring that alcohol ads reach audiences at least 71.6 percent of legal drinking age, use age gating, and avoid appeal to minors. Several countries prohibit alcohol advertising outright or by medium.
