It appears that the message of abstainence is getting across to teenagers, if the latest National Drug Strategy Household Survey is anything to go by.
According to the survey, which took place in the second half of 2016 and surveyed 24,000 people, shows that Australian women are out-drinking their daughters.
When it comes to risky drinking, women in their fifties are exceeding the lifetime risk guidelines, more than those women aged 18-24.
The survey showed that parents and grandparents are taking their risky drinking habits with them into their old age, while young people are waiting longer before they try illicit drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.
