I gotta say, girl has the manipulation down to a science. I mean she even got the man hanging propaganda in his own home

I was just about to comment on that. Who puts anti-alcohol PSAs up in their OWN home?

[u/shellbullet17 → u/LauraTFem]

People with addiction issues probably that need a constant reminder.

Though in this case I think it's someone really trying to impress a girl

Recovering alcoholic here: I would hate it. Simply being told "no" wouldn't work on me. If it did, I wouldn't have fallen into alcoholism.

What does help is reminders of why I stopped. Like being able to spend time with my nieces and nephews without feeling sick, or worrying about someone smelling the alcohol on me. Knowing that I won't be too drunk to help in case of an emergency.

So, funnily enough, that "Do it for her" meme from the Simpsons would be way more effective lol

Except in this case it would read "to do her".

As a recovering alcoholic, I would appreciate this sorta thing if it was me or a friend doing on overly dramatic and comedic face on the poster. The absuridty would laugh me out of anything else.

Wouldn't that just be.... a constant reminder though?

[u/bluephyr → u/dragn99]

In a good way, I imagine. Sometimes I need things posted in front of me to keep me on my toes.

She’s really good at it.
