My reaction:

While reading this article, I am interested in it. As I know, there are many ways to advise people not to drink frequently but most of them are boring.

At first, the new ways include sending mobile phone text messages, posting video clips that feature the consequences of drinking and writing articles. These are relevant to our daily life. Therefore, we will be constantly and chronically edified. For example, the former one is a good idea. When people receive the message before starting to drink, they would think twice as for considering what they do like driving, also it is a pretty caring advice that we found that some one consider us as well as not be alone, just as a friend's reminding.

However, we should think of the effect of it. Since the economy of the entire world is going to the dogs, we might have heard of the news of lying off employees. Those unemployed prefer drinking in order to escape from the reality. Consequently, the number of drinkers is increasing. Most of them are in bad mood during drinking and they are unwilling to be disturbed from outside world. Thus, the above measures are useless. In my opinion, the best way is to seek for professional's help and tell them your situation.

In addition, some liquor companies support this idea, but their intention is making money. Not purely for it. They do this for getting famous and then sell their products easily. That is not only save the advertising cost but also fulfill their goal. The idea at last carries an odor of commerce. (206words)
