From billboards to commercials or a superhero relaxing with a drink in your favorite TV show or movie, it’s hard to believe something portrayed so innocently can be so dangerous. If you knew your first drink would cause alcohol dependence and lead you to needing alcohol addiction treatment, you probably would have never tried it.
