    A man was seriously injured in a one punch attack outside the nightclub, causing him to lose consciousness and sustain facial injuries in the early hours of the morning.

    Around 2:45am the young man was assaulted outside the Adelaide club after a one punch attack on North Terrace. He was taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital for overnight monitoring.

    Unfortunately the attacker fled the scene before police arrived.

  • Effect of Alcohol on Your Middle Aged Body

    Alcohol affects us all but for people over the age of 40, the effects can be longer lasting and more intense. This is because the liver and stomach in middle aged people has begun to shrink, this shrinkage results in alcohol staying in the body longer.

    The brain, heart, skin and liver are amongst the greatest affected by excessive drinking. Also people over the age of 40 may have an increased risk of cancer if they are heavy drinkers.

  • TWE Labels to Get Calorie Content

    Treasury Wine Estates are one of the largest winemakers in the world and will now be the first to put the calorie content of their wines on the bottle’s label, well sort of.

    As we all become more conscious of what we put into our bodies and the amount of calories we’re taking in every day, more and more companies are putting calorie content on labels. TWE is following suit.

    The calorie information will be available online with a dedicated web address printed on every wine label which directs consumers to this information.

    The winemakers will rollout their plan in Europe first and then America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

  • Reminder, Don’t Serve Alcohol to Minors

    An example of the consequences of serving alcohol to minors, or allowing minors to consume alcohol on your premises, has been highlighted by an incident which resulted in the suspension of one licensee’s liquor licence after minors were found by police drinking in an outside area.

    The OLGR took the opportunity to warn licensees about the importance of checking IDs when serving alcohol to ensure minors aren’t being served.

    The Palbok BBQ Pty Ltd, trading as Palbok House, has been fined $2200 and had its liquor licence suspended for 21 days.

    To avoid similar serious consequences ensure all employees have completed Responsible Service of Alcohol training.
