From Budweiser\u2019s billion-dollar deal with the NFL, to tequila pouring all over UFC fight nights, to beer practically funding baseball stadiums, alcohol and sports have become inseparable. But should they be? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane takes a look at alcohol advertising in sports. Do leagues like the NFL, MLB, NBA, and UFC owe fans more responsibility when it comes to promoting addictive substances? Why are we okay with tequila logos on jerseys, but we\u2019d never accept Marlboro as the \u201cofficial cigarette of the Finals\u201d? And is it just hypocrisy to glorify peak performance athletes while cashing checks from companies selling a product that wrecks health and lives? We\u2019ll explore:   How alcohol ads target not just adults, but kids and families watching games.   The normalization of booze as \u201cpart of the fan experience.\u201d   The Big Tobacco playbook\u2014and how alcohol companies are running the same game.   Whether banning alcohol ads in sports could actually be a good thing.   All with a little humor and sarcasm, because nothing says \u201cfamily-friendly Sunday football\u201d like pounding tallboys and screaming at the ref who can\u2019t hear you. Actionable Takeaways:   Pay attention during the next game, notice how often alcohol shows up, and what message it\u2019s sending.   If you\u2019re in early sobriety, set boundaries, mute commercials, watch with sober friends, or create new game-day rituals.   And remember, you don\u2019t have to do this alone.
