Over time, alcohol advertisements have increasingly objectified and sexualized depictions of women. In the 1950s-1960s, women occasionally appeared in ads and dressed conservatively. In the 1960s-1970s, women exposed more skin. In the 1970s-1980s, women were positioned submissively in front of men. By the 1990s-2000s, solo women showed more skin and were portrayed seductively, and women with men appeared more sexually. Today, women's bodies are mainly used to sell alcohol rather than the product itself.

Alcohol Advertisement’s Portrayal of Men & Women By Alex Kotlyar
Introduction In alcohol and advertising, advertisements not only manipulate their customers into buying their products, but they also manipulate the people in their advertisements.  In magazines and papers overtime, women overall of alcohol advertisements have increasingly become more objectified.  Women’s bodies are turned into objects and it affects their self-esteem, and in return influences men’s thoughts towards women.
The History of Advertising for Women 1950-1960: People were rarely in ads. Women occasionally appeared. This decade mainly focused on the product to sell the the product. Women were classy, sophisticated, did not dress sexy at all. 1960-1970: Women appeared in almost every ad and looked better while exposing more skin.
The History of Advertising for Women 1970-1980: Women were depicted more, positioned in front of the men to make it seem as if they were vulnerable. 1980-1990: Women were portrayed more seductively and men were still seen as more dominant. A party girl image arrived and women were never depicted alone.
The History of Advertising for Women 1990-2000: When women are depicted alone, they show more skin and are seductive and when with men, appear more sexy. 2000-Present: Women are mainly portrayed and used to sell the object as opposed using the object to sell. Women flaunt their body and where little clothing.
Myths and Facts Myth: Alcohol Advertising will cause people to drink more and thus create a drinking problem for themselves. Fact: There is no scientific proof that drinking more, and more through advertising will cause drinking problems. Myth: White wine is a good choice for a person who wants a light drink with less alcohol. Fact: A glass of white or red wine, a bottle of beer, and a shot of whiskey or other distilled spirits all contain equivalent amounts of alcohol and are they same to a Breathalyzer. A standard drink is: A 12-ounce bottle or can of regular beer A 5-ounce glass of wine A one and 1/2 ounce of 80 proof distilled spirits (either straight or in a mixed drink).

Articles The Exploitation of Women Through Alcohol Ads: http://www.msu.edu/~webbleea/2000.htm Advertisements not only manipulate their customers into buying their products, but people in it as well. This idea is very true when it comes to alcohol advertisements and women.  In magazines overtime, women overall have increasingly become more and more objectified.  Women’s bodies are turned into objects while affecting their own image, and in return influences the males thoughts towards women.
