Bottoms up! Google is bringing personalization to alcohol ads on YouTube.

On YouTube, ads for alcoholic beverages are few and far between -- but that's about to change. Starting on October 30, Google will implement a new policy that will enable some amount of personalization on ads for alcohol brands. Alcohol ads are currently permitted on YouTube, but significant restrictions hinder their reach. Personalized targeting is disabled for those spots (for now), users can opt out of being served alcohol ads, and there are no boozy banners permitted on the YouTube homepage.
