Enjoy 52 booze advertisements from the late 1960s through the early 1980s. Cheers!

Um, Cindy. I think you've had enough. Time to go home.
From 1968, when it was still cool to be from Swingin' England.

Every man should have his own imp? Uhh, okay, if you say so.

He's very, very rich. And she loves his richness.
Speaking of....
You can tell she has to fight back the chills of revulsion. But we all have our price.

You'll notice a trend in these Seagram's ads: a studly, self-assured gentleman with doting sex-kitten at his service.

Okay, I know she's taunting you with that full bottle of tequila; just know, things are gonna get weird.
 |
| 1974 |
Sand skiing? Drunk people do the craziest things.

Championship Backgammon? Worst. Alcohol ad. Ever.

Alannha Miles has forever ruined "black velvet" for me; I can't help but hear that stupid song in my head whenever I hear the words.
 |
| 1972 |
Wow. She's clearly an alcoholic.

I'm in love with this ad... but, I'm sorry, that game looks really boring. Anyone out there ever play this?
 |
| 1980 |
Her expression. It looks like she's about to be attacked. Someone call the police.

Give Helen enough Kentucky whiskey and she'll make it with just about anything.
 |
| 1974 |
We tried it and it's true. We're gonna have a baby.
And the sequel...
 |
| 1974 |
Please, woman. Let me eat my olives in peace.

I love this ad (from a 1985 issue of GQ) so much it hurts. Why? Take a good long look at this couple...

Yep. There really was a Penthouse magazine wine.
 |
| 1970 |
Try something better? I don't blame her for being pissed.
 |
| 1976 |
In Japan, they know how to sell alcohol.
Okay, I take that back.
 |
| 1976 |
How to know if you've drank too much Zonin.
(And what's he sitting on, anyway?)
You know it's a German advertisement and not American because of the language.... that, and the nipples.
 |
| 1969 |
"Passion Fruit"? Is that what they called it back then? Today we call them roofies.
I remember especially the super-soft-focus Czar ad for Wolfschmidt Vodka from 78. They ran those in both Playboy and Omni, if my memory serves correctly.
ReplyDeleteI definitely remember the ad for Burrough's.
ReplyDeleteThose eyes......
2 comments. Is that Susan Saranden in the 1978 ad just before Helen and her Harpers? And how exactly does alcohol help your tennis game.
ReplyDeleteRE: alcohol helping your tennis game?
DeleteEnough alcohol will make you not give a fud.
1- Thank you for these and can we have more please.
ReplyDelete2- What beer is the 1972 "You're in no big hurry to finish your beer. Neither are we." ad advertising for? My only guess is Olympia because of the Oly, but I am not sure.
3- Orson Welles had a daughter who was an actress?
2 is definitely Olympia.
Delete3 not only that but her mother was Rita Hayworth.
Man, there's really nothing like old liquor ads.
ReplyDeleteMy two favorite things to look at when perusing back issues of Playboy from the '70s (besides the articles) are the stereo ads and the vintage alcohol ads, this totally made my day!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, Pepe Lopez tequila. Had many, many horrible experiences with that when I was in college. The only lesson I learned is never to drink anything with a picture resembling Tuco from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly on it.
ReplyDeleteUgh, did anyone read the text of that Schenley ad? Sounds like someone is trying to seduce Ruth by getting her to pour some budget whiskey down her gullet, and it turns out it's her MOTHER.
ReplyDeleteDang, these ads are great! I remember so many of them, and it makes sooo thirsty!!
