Pop songs could encourage young people to drink alcohol. England's John Moores University looked at how many song lyrics mentioned drinking. It said health warnings about alcohol may be of little value because of references to alcohol in pop songs. One in five songs in the UK music charts mentions alcohol. This figure is double that from a decade ago. Songs from 1981 contained much fewer references to alcohol. Part of the rise is because of American songs.
Researchers say songs about alcohol are "a major concern". A professor warned that songs are a "form of advertising and marketing for alcoholic products." She said alcohol advertising is already a worry, and that references to alcohol in pop songs could give a positive message to young people about it. Health care professionals should make sure that pop music does not create a stronger drinking culture and harm young people more.
