Abstract

This dissertation investigates the impact that alcohol sponsorship in sport has on young adults. Alcohol sponsorship of sport is a pivotal element for a wide range of alcohol marketing activity in Ireland.

A vast array of marketing activities are used to highlight the link between alcohol, sports and popular athletes with the goal being that it drives consumption of alcohol. There has been a large number of organisations, particularly sporting bodies and alcohol companies opposed to a sponsorship ban being implemented. However, there are also a large number of group who are passionate advocates of a ban taking place.

Five in-depth interviews were carried out with young adults who are actively involved in sport by participating in it and by being spectators. One interview was carried out with the Commercial & Marketing Manager of Dublin GAA in order to gain a different perspective regarding a potential alcohol sponsorship ban.
