Abercrombie's naughty tee's get axed
Abercrombie & Fitch t-shirts with messages like 'Don't Bother, I'm Not Drunk Yet' trigger uproar.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - In response to complaints from the media and advocacy groups across the country, clothing designer Abercrombie & Fitch announced that it will withdraw its t-shirt line with alcohol-related taglines.

The t-shirts displayed messages such as "Don't Bother, I'm Not Drunk Yet," "Bad Girls Chug. Good Girls Drink Quickly," "Candy is dandy. But liquor is quicker," I Give to the Pour," and "Filler Up."

Abercrombie & Fitch was not immediately available for comment.

A number of public interest organizations claimed the t-shirts glorified alcohol use and binge drinking, which was particularly problematic for a brand closely affiliated with teenagers.

Earlier this week, Abercrombie & Fitch discontinued sales of the short-sleeve "humor" t-shirts.

Meanwhile, Abercrombie (Research) sales are soaring. Click here.  Top of page
