Some members of the video game community have shown distaste towards bringing out a “drinking game” on the Wii which is (so far) a more child oriented console.

The only problem I see here is the fact that the game has been given a “T” rating meaning that is can be sold to anyone 13+. Lisa Lombardozzi of the Greater Herndon Community Coalition is worried that selling such a game to minors will promote underage drinking and even binge drinking in minors. Since the legal drinking age in most states is 21 some are worried that the game will promote drinking unhealthy ideals in the youth population.

JV Games’ spokesman Vince Valenti said, “We are not advocating drinking any more than watching cartoons or watching the TV show Cheers, or even going bowling or to a baseball game … If anything, you’re going to be drinking less, because you are too busy playing the game, trying to beat your opponent, to be constantly picking up a beer and drinking it.” Vince sounds a little less than interested in Lisa’s view of the situation.

The video in the preveous post has since been removed from youTube.
