Gronbaek, M. "The Positive and Negative Health Effects of Alcohol-and the Public Health Implications." Journal of Internal Medicine 265 (2009): 407-420. EBSCO. Web. 14 Nov. 2010. This article explains the effects alcohol has on a person's health, both the positive and the negative. It discusses the negatives alcohol has on the body and mind but also the positives it can have on the heart. When discussing alcohol usually only the negative side is discussed, this article gives a different viewpoint of the topic.

Hanson Ph.D., David J. "Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth: Its Objectives and Methods." Alcohol Abuse Prevention: Some Serious Problems. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. Unlike almost all the other sources I have come across, this website is the devils advocate to all con arguments to alcohol advertising directed towards youth. It explains that CAMY (one of the largest contributors to standing up against these ads) is not being intellectually honest and how they use statistics to lie. The site is one of the few I could find on the pro argument towards the advertisements that minors are exposed.

Hanson Ph.D., David J. "Alcohol Advertising Facts and Information." Alcohol Problems and Solutions. Web. 16 Nov. 2010.

The URL given here was the most helpful part about this site, it give links to numerous hyperlinks offering much information on a various topics from pro alcohol advertising to the con argument.
