Announcement

From:
Marin Institute
24 Belvedere Street
San Rafael, CA 94901

Enter your anti-beer ad to the first Free the Bowl Video Contest!

Why

Year after year, the Super Bowl delivers the largest youth TV audience to the country's top beer seller, Anheuser-Busch.

In 2008, an estimated 30 MILLION underage youth viewed more ads for beer than any other single product during the Super Bowl. Millions more viewed beer ads online after the big game. The more youth are exposed to alcohol advertising, the more likely they are to drink, and drink to excess.

10.7 million underage youth drink; 7.2 million binge drink.

Alcohol-related problems from underage drinking cost the country $60 billion annually.

It's time to tell beer companies to stop exploiting youth during the Super Bowl!
