There certainly does seem lots more alcohol related scenes in soaps and other programmes.
Deaths and serious illnesses related to alcohol are massively on the rise especially in younger people too so there is likely a partial link to what is shown on TV.

Also the social aspects of alcohol too, I haven't seen someone get their head kicked in, glassed or knifed because of cigarettes but I have from people who have had way too much to drink.

As a footnote to this, has anyone noticed how in the Kabin on Coronation Street the cigarettes display often is clearly visible at times behind Rita or Norris when they are talking, surprised at that too.
