Ad Verification for the Alcohol and Spirits Industry

Ad Verification for the Alcohol and Spirits Industry

Marketing beer, wine, and spirits is a "Red Line" industry. Regulations like the DISCUS Code and local state laws mandate strict age-gating and specific "Responsibility Statements" (e.g., "Please Drink Responsibly").

Failure to verify these elements isn't just a marketing error—it's a massive legal risk.

1. Verifying the 'Responsibility' Tag

Every ad must have the mandated health warning. AdShot Pro's Role: Our high-resolution captures ensure that the "Drink Responsibly" tag is visible, legible, and correctly placed within the creative, providing 100% legal coverage for the brand.

2. The Age-Gate Hurdle

Before a user can see alcohol content on a publisher's site, they must often pass an "Age Gate" (asking for their DOB). AdShot Pro's Role: Our engine allows you to Simulate Age Consent. We can bypass or interact with the age gate to see the "Post-Gate" ad placement, ensuring the creative and the placement match the brand's premium standards.

3. Geo-Blocking and Dry Regions

In many territories, alcohol advertising is strictly forbidden in specific counties or regions. AdShot Pro's Role: Use our Zip-Code Level Proxies to verify that your geo-fencing is working perfectly. Prove that your ads are not appearing in restricted zones, protecting the organization from local fines.

Summary

In the spirits world, regulation is part of the brand. AdShot Pro gives you the technical documentation needed to protect your brand's reputation and your legal standing in every region.
