David Beckham's Haig Club whiskey advertisement issue raised by 'Alcohol Concern', has now been cleared of encouraging underage drinking.

The regulating authorities explained that the former footballer doesn't have any such significant influence over children in the UK, as it's been around a decade for him not playing for a UK club, the Mirror reported.

The supervisors later added that its true that the 39-year-old recently-retired footballer has received a Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Sports 'Legend' award earlier, but first of all that was an American award and on to that the award was decided upon by Nickelodeon people and not by the kids.
