The Distilled Spirits Council ("DISCUS"), the trade association that represents producers and marketers of distilled spirits in the United States, has a "Code of Responsible Practices for Beverage Alcohol Advertising and Marketing."  DISCUS also runs a program where companies and members of the public can challenge advertising for non-compliance with the Code.  

Members of the public brought a challenge against Emodka Vodka, alleging that the French vodka's packaging and marketing materials violate the Code.  The Code provides that "Beverage alcohol advertising and marketing materials should not depict a child or portray objects, images, or cartoon figures that primarily appeal to persons below the legal purchase age."
