Alcohol and Soap Operas: Drinking in the Light of Day.
Wallack, Lawrence; And Others
Journal of Drug Education, v15 n4 p365-79 1985
Examined drinking portrayals on the day time soap opera, "All My Children." Overall, "All My Children" was found to be doing a good job of accurately portraying drinking problems. Several good role models for social drinking and abstinence were presented and negative reinforcement for heavier or high risk drinking was frequent. (Author/ABL)
