“Nearly all of the brand mentions for Patron, Hennessy, Remy Martin, Grey Goose, Ciroc, Cristal and Moet occurred in urban songs, whereas 4 of the 5 brand mentions for Jack Daniel’s occurred in pop and country songs, and 9 of the 12 references to brands of beer were in country songs.”

“Many of the artists of these songs—particularly within the urban genre—have agreements with alcohol companies to promote their brand….alcohol companies may be indirectly promoting brand-specific alcohol use among underage youth through sponsorship of popular artists.”
