- Rosie’s advertisement for Whisp hard seltzer alcoholic beverages was banned.
- Viewers claimed that the advertisement promoted excessive drinking.
- The advertisement was removed from TikTok.
The young influencer who claimed that a can of alcohol has “only 63 calories a can” and “actually get you drunk” in a TikTok post has been banned.
Rosie Breen’s advertisement for Whisp hard seltzer alcoholic beverages in February was titled “3 reasons I drink Whisp Alcohol” and showed her dancing while holding a can in each hand while pointing to add captions that read, “I’m [sic] on my weight loss journey & they’re only 63 calories a can,” and “They actually get you drunk.”
A viewer claimed that the advertisement was inappropriate since it promoted excessive drinking and that the calorie claim for alcoholic beverages was illegal.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) looked into whether the advertisement violated advertising laws by showing a person who appeared to be under 25 years old.
She publicly apologized and claimed the message was a reflection of her view of the beverage. She stated she was pleased to have it taken down and would make sure that any future content adhered to the rules.
