Donāt know about chatty or clingy, but women are definitely hotter after Iāve been drinking. Iām also more handsome, funny, and smarter.

Drink enough and small animals and the pool boy start looking good.

I would say that there is something wrong because the animals canāt consentā¦but nothing wrong with liking the pool boy so long as he is of legal ageā¦

Wait, so saying alcohol makes you stupid is sexist? Or is it sexist that they didnāt put in āladies, if you needed to have a few drinks before youād talk to that guy, donāt get behind the wheelā as well?
Oh, cāmon, I think we all know what āArf, arf!!ā means after a long walk and some ice cream on the sidewalk. Pleaseā¦
Filed under: āJust because itās true, doesnāt mean itās not offensiveā?
I kid, I kidā¦
To be fair, Iām still trying to figure out who is more insulted by acknowledging that women look hotter when youāre plasteredā¦the girls who are impliedly being called ugly OR the guys.who are explicitly being called stupid and petty?

Twofer sexism: when you can insult both genders with sexist stereotypes in one sentence.

Most guys in a bar meet up with Rosy Palm after a hard nightās drinking. Guys have been abusing her for eons without much guff over it unless theyāre home schooled.
Sounds like an anti drunk driving campaign thought up by all not-too-enlightened men who like to spend way too much of their free time drinking in bars (or at least men who have no daughters). Get some women to participate in your planning meetings, guys.
I think the sexist part is this:
One slogan used on marketing materials read: āBuy a drink for a marginally good-looking girl, only to find out sheās chatty, clingy, and your bossās daughter.ā
Itās the same ole, same ole shit that women talk too much, that weāre so clingy, and blah, blah, blah. Itās just so cliched, and thereās nothing clingier than a drunk dude who thinks thereās a chance he might get some booty. I also think it wouldnāt have been so bad if the campaign wasnāt just directed at men. Sorry, but beer googles are universal. Unfortunately, men donāt have a monopoly on that market.

Beer goggles etc. are well known & acknowledged phenomena among bozos. If drawing a simple connection between āreckless behaviorsā for simple men might reduce drunk driving, then Jesus try it. Theyāve tried everything else. Please consider the desperation behind these campaigns.
Please also consider that the people most likely to suffer the consequences of drunk chauvinists getting behind the wheel are their mildly attractive, chatty female passengers. Live another day to drill some values into the already dumb.
Priorities.

Iām not offended by a drunk-driving ad which says that women look hotter to men who have been drinking.

As long as you donāt get behind the wheel.
Donāt the marketing execs run these ads by any focus groups before going full tilt???
āIām all in favor of being snarky in a campaign, but you donāt have to be sexist to do that,ā Laura Creekmore said. āIt is unfortunate for the young men of Tennessee if we think we have to be sexist to get the message across.ā
Awā¦cāmon little lady. Lighten up.
