I don't think getting rid of advertisement is going to stop students thinking about alcohol, just as banning contraception wouldn't stop them thinking about sex. They'll know it exists regardless. I think it's pointless to try and avoid advertisements, but they best thing to do is to educate pupils on the negativities surrounded by alcohol use.
I've seen schemes where long term offenders visit schools and do talks on how scary prison can be, with the aims of making the children just think about the consequences of breaking the law rather than focussing on particular crimes.
Also drugs talks often revolve around someone who's lost a family member through drug use, or role reversal to someone who used drugs and lost everything they had, whether it be family, career etc.
Better to face up to things than pretend it doesn't exist.
