Even by making this image the ad does not give much information, but still gives enough to make the point. The producers’ sense that the audience can interpret the point they are trying to get across without adding additional information to ruin the organization on the ad. The information used is not right, it depicts something that will not really happen, by drinking the alcohol you will not turn into the man with the suit and hat.

I think the second part of the commercial is the most effective in making sure when those are drinking they make the responsible decision that way they can make it home safely. The audience can relate to this because when the screen goes black especially the first time it really makes the audience ponder what it would be like if their loved ones never made it home, and also how it would make their loved ones feel if they didn’t make it back home after a night of drinking.
