I have yet to meet anyone in a debate who really defends selling alcohol to minors or to people who already have used too much alcohol.
World wide
ITYF members also urge the Brazilian Government to uphold the best interest of the child, respect the scientific evidence and
social needs of children and youth to maintain the ban in the new law…
Preventing Drug Use is Protecting Children…
Play Dreams Laughter Happiness Rights…
alcohol industry conduct is hostile for gender equality…
In Brazil, FIFA does dirty work for alcohol industry, ignoring evidence and social needs…

This week is the week of Children of Alcoholics (CoA).
Alcohol in a family has an immense impact on the kids’ childhood and their future life. It leads to dysfunctional family where the substance comes first before all the family members; an unsafe family environment that has huge impact on kids’ development; limiting social life for the kids with their peers; lack of attention and affection; low self-esteem; worsen economical situation; limited perspectives for future education. The children of alcoholics very often tend to develop alcohol dependency themselves and reproduce the problem.
Despite all the negative consequences, the CoA usually need to deal with the problem on their own.
Every now and then, we are confronted with a new situation that is so outstanding and/or unusual that it engenders an actual “WOW” response on your part.
I had such an experience last March when I visited the Great Wall of China. This was such an amazing experience that it
deserved a full blown “WOW!”
