Thumbs up to advertising alcohol on the Web
French Health minister Roselyne Bachelot says she wants to reform the 1991 Evin law that regulates alcohol abuse. Dating from a time before the internet, it doesn't allow for promotion on the web.
What do you think of Roselyne Bachelot's decision ? Do you think alcohol should be advertised on the Internet ? Send us your reactions.

Alcohol on the Web!
I think that Ms.Bachelot is doing the right thing. Responsible advertising of alcohol on the web will be a good revenue source for websites and will permit the industry to possibly expand sales, this puts money in peoples pockets and keeps people in the alcohol production industry working which in turn helps keep the rest of us rather relaxed at the end of the day. Hmm, all this typing fatigued me, I think a glass of French Merlot is in order.

No I don't think it should be advertised on the web, unfortunately people are aware already that it exists.
Alcohol is a drug
If Drug companies are allowed to promote dieting pills on the internet which does risk the health of millions why not people who sell alcohol, they would probably do less damage to peoples health then those drug companies as well.
