While it may be a staple of human society, I have always found the levels of alcohol consumption that are portrayed as normal in the media as excessive. Even when the alcohol consumption is being portrayed as problematic, it is often treated lightly. Now I am not going to claim that this is a conspiracy. I am not even going to claim it is because of money spent on promoting drinking. For all I know, it may simply be a difference in drinking norms between the world I live in and the world those who work in the entertainment industry live in. That said, I don't think the levels of drinking seen in the media are healthy in any way, shape, or form.
