Dr. Susanne Tanski of Dartmouth Medical School reported to the Annual Meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies that the amount of money that a company spends on TV advertising is very effective in convincing under age drinkers to use their product as a “favorite brand”. Those who develop a favorite brand are then more likely to become binge drinkers and alcoholics. Many such ads appear on ESPN and similar sports channels. Budweiser was the most common brand cited.
