To say everyone should boycott House of Whisky

[Tillow4ever]

I’ve just seen that a company called House of Whisky has created a post on the ALCOHOL SUPPORT board to advertise their company and talk about how they ship their whiskies worldwide etc.

AIBU to think this is a really scummy, low and morally corrupt practice and we should make it backfire on them and boycott their company?

I think it’s disgusting they’ve gone onto a forum intended for people to get help with their alcohol addiction to advertise alcohol for sale. Obviously I have reported their post as it’s advertising anyway, but hopefully people will see this and choose to shop elsewhere with someone who won’t stoop to such depths.

I have marked the image as sensitive (might take a while to appear) - if you have a problematic relationship with alcohol, I would advise you don’t open it. I have only included it as proof of my claim, I don’t want to advertise them further.

I would not have known about this shoddy practice had OP not posted it here. I dont have cause to visit the alcohol threads.

What I do have is a partner who drinks whisky and I am one of those who will buy a special "big" (price wise) bottle for him for birthday, Xmas, valentines. I have bought from that site before but, thanks to this post, will not be doing so in future as advertising in the manner they did is abhorrent.

Thanks for the heads up.

I’m happy to be made aware, and it seems others are too
