Should advertising of alcoholic beverages be banned in establishments, supermarkets and bars?
There are already some restrictions, such as "the display of alcoholic beverages in the outdoor areas of commercial establishments, as well as on counters or in windows visible from the outside, except for commercial establishments whose sole business is the sale of alcoholic beverages." And there is a new draft law on the prevention of alcohol consumption by minors that aims to further limit exposure to alcoholic beverages and the placement of advertising for drinks with more than 0.5% alcohol by volume. But for the time being, a ban on alcoholic beverages in establishments, supermarkets, and bars is not planned.
There is still no legal framework that specifically prohibits the advertising of alcoholic beverages on social media.
And, although not specifically addressed in the question, we also believe it's important to raise the issue of whether the presence of alcoholic beverages on social media, especially on influencer profiles, should be further regulated, or even prohibited as proposed. While general advertising laws apply, and various self-imposed advertising codes of conduct exist, there is still no legal framework that specifically prohibits advertising alcoholic beverages on social media.
