Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Scientists from Canada and the Netherlands conducted a study involving 80 males between the ages of 18 to 29, the participants were divided into several groups and were asked to watch TV with different levels of alcohol consumption on screen.

The results were that young men who watched commercials or movies featuring the most alcohol scenes drank 1.5 more bottles on average than those who watch ones which didn’t include any.

The researchers admitted that they found no evidence of long-term effects due to watching TV but the short-term changes were very obvious though, saying that such movies or commercial could impact subsequent thinking and craving in drinkers.
