Ad to Pennsylvania lawmakers: Keep booze in liquor stores or children will die

I’ve seen some fear mongering ads in my time, but this one takes the cake. The ad is paid for by a union that represents liquor store employees, and while it talks a little about the revenue that liquor stores bring to the state of Pennsylvania, its main focus is to scare mothers and fathers into believing that selling beer in grocery stores is the path to death for at least one child per week.

What do you think? Does this ad go over the top, or do you agree with its message?

Stocking Stuffer! Found on the Internet: How to Make Holiday Punch Without a Recipe

Not sure if you have exactly what you need for punch? Well, Food 52 wants you to know that as long as you have some wine and booze, you probably do. Check it out!

From the article:
“For the booze, use your favorite; for the wine, bubbles are best, white wine works, hard cider is nice with apple and rye; for the sweet, use your judgment. We like to use simple syrup, or you can add a sweet liqueur, like St. Germain if you’re making gin punch, or Domaine de Canton if your batch wants a gingery kick.”
