It's hilarious that states like Norway ban ads for alcohol and cigarettes, but not for the oceans of other toxic and useless shit available.

"Alcohol is bad for you, so we ban all ads. But this toxic nail polish is just fine, you definitely need a new phone, and this, and that..."

It's not very impressive to decide ads need to go, then only picking a few worst cases. Go all the way!

Any ad that interferes with daily activity ought to be removed. We have plenty of tools we could use to find services, if so calibrated.

isn't the purpose of advertising to manufacture desire for unnecessary goods and services?

Norwegians drink absurd amounts of alcohol. While lying politicians point out consumption decreasing, they don't mention that we BINGE DRINK

I understand that binge drinking is part of your culture.
How will killing alcohol ads change culture?

People gather at an apartment to drink, then go out and drink more, then go back home to drink yet again. Horrendous.

Sometimes, but seldom. No ads for alcohol whatsoever. Mostly talking about the ramifications of other policies, like time limits.

you believe elimination of time limits sufficient to break a culturally-enforced habit?

No. I'm saying "anti-drinking" legislation encourages binge drinking/drinking at home. Cheaper and gives time to drink/socialize.
