Videos showing excessive drinking discouraged By ZHAO XINYING | China Daily | Updated: 2021-04-14 09:21 Share CLOSE Short videos or livestreaming shows online that feature people drinking too much liquor set a bad example and should be eradicated to prevent viewers from being misled, an expert and a video platform said. On some short video platforms, viewers have been flocking to watch videos showing people drinking to excess. Many feature people drinking too much alcohol, but others show people consuming vast quantities of soft drink, milk tea or plain water without any obvious discomfort. Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center at China University of Political Science and Law, said such content attracted the attention of curious people.
