How many first world countries have banned/restricted alcohol advertising already?
It's already pretty heavily restricted in Australia for instance (you are still allowed to broadcast TV commercials for alcohol, but because of the limitations around when you can do it and what you can show in such commercials, they're actually relatively rare, certainly compared to what I remember in the past).
What I don't know if there's been much research into how effective the restrictions have been - it's true we seem have a younger generation now that drinks less than their parents, but I believe that phenomenon has been observed in countries that haven't significant restricted alcohol advertising either.
We don't have cancer warnings, though it's certainly been discussed (and appears to have broad public support). There are typically pregnancy warnings ("Alcohol can cause lifelong harm to your baby"), which have been mandatory since 2020.
