Whoopi Goldberg has my admiration for her statement on the obvious, but never mentioned on TV or radio, that perhaps the constant wave of alcohol ads everywhere, ball games, holidays, all sports arenas, billboards, would have and does have, an appeal to youth to drink on every occasion.

She was right, and she is the first celebrity to come right out and say so. Kudos to Whoopi! Perhaps the other panelists on the View will follow her suit.
