According to national polls, Australia has a problem with excessive drinking and many people think alcohol is linked to domestic violence.
Commissioned by the Foundation of Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), the annual alcohol poll of 2017 found that one third of Australians were affected by alcohol-related violence.
The poll shows that one in five Australian children or a million annually are harmed as a result of someone else’s drinking.
A recent study examined the drinking patterns of more than 200 Australians and found that while only 28 per cent drink at levels above 2 per day, this group drinks 84 per cent of the total alcohol consumed in Australia.
In other words, just over one quarter of us, drink more than four fifths of all the alcohol consumed.
This is not a good revelation, given that it shows that half of the alcohol drunk in Australia is consumed in a way that it is outside the recommended guidelines of 2 Australian standard drinks (ASD) daily.
The study also found that liqueurs and cask wines were most often consumed at risky levels, despite beer and wine being the more popular drinks.

After a long night out it’s common to have a headache, and now experts from a UK university have found that alcohol and not paracetamol is the best painkiller. However they do warn that it is not a good long term plan for pain relief.
Consuming two pints of beer is apparently more effective at pain relief than painkillers, the study by Greenwich University researchers found.
According to researchers, by increasing your blood alcohol level to 0.08 you can increase your pain threshold.
So alcohol can be compared to codeine and is even more effective than paracetamol.

According to a recent study intelligent people drink more alcohol than those who are less intelligent.
The study was published in Psychology Today and claims that smarter people are more likely to binge drink and get drunk than people who don’t drink.
According to scientists drinking alcohol is the latest behaviour to be categorised as “evoluntionarily novel”, in other words it’s a behaviour we learned, not something our ancestors did so the ability to learn it and handle it is an indication of intellectual ability.
Personally it’s hard to believe binge drinking and getting drunk can be described as “intelligent” given the risks and consequences.

Holidays mean time outdoors, usually at the beach, lake, river or pool but celebrations can turn deadly very quickly especially if we mix alcohol and water.
According to research from the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS), almost 2000 men have died in water related accidents in Australia between 2006 and 2016.
This has prompted a campaign from RLSS to change the attitude of men towards drinking alcohol around water.
Research suggests that 500 Australian men drown over the past decade after drinking alcohol.
