Drinking at a 50 Year Low in Australia

According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australians are consuming less alcohol than they have in the last 50 years.

The data reveals that 186 million litres of pure alcohol was consumed in 2016/17 across Australia, this is the lowest amount since 1961-62.

Overall this equates to 9.4 litres of pure alcohol for every person over the age of 15 years.

The greatest contributor to the decline was the drop in beer consumption. According to the statistics Australians consumed 3.4 per cent less pure alcohol from beer compared to the previous year.

While the consumption of beer declined the most, it is still the most consumed alcoholic beverage in Australia accounting for 39.2 per cent of all alcohol consumed in the year.

Wine is the second most consumed and accounted for 28.3 per cent of pure alcohol.

A scary statistic revealed that almost a quarter of pregnant Kiwi’s don’t give up alcohol during the first semester of their pregnancy.

Drinking While Breastfeeding May Not be so Safe

According to research the old idea that drinking alcohol while breastfeeding is okay, may actually be incorrect.

The new study says that drinking while breastfeeding may actually negatively impact a child’s cognition.

The study was published in the journal “Pediatrics” recently titled “Drinking or Smoking While Breastfeeding and Later Cognition in Children.”

The study involved 5,107 Australian infants starting in 2004 and checking every two years until the kids were 11. The researchers looked at the link between drinking and smoking habits of breastfeeding mothers and children’s “abstract reasoning.”

Alcohol Shops Could Get ID Scanners Soon

A proposal by the Western Australian government could make it harder to purchase alcohol in Western Australia, especially if your name is on the Banned Drinkers Register.

The government wants the IDs scanned of everyone buying alcohol in bottle shops and if they are on the register, the cashier will be alerted and they will be refused alcohol.

The Banned Drinkers Register is made up of people who are convicted of a violent offence of drink-driving.

The trial will run for 12 months at a bottle store in Pilbara.

Päntsdrunk – The Finnish art of drinking alone

Does the idea of drinking alone sound sad and pathetic to you? It would to most people in Australia but in Finland it’s just a form of self-care.

The Finnish art of drinking alone in your underwear even has a name Päntsdrunk and given how strange it may sound to most of us, it is the subject of a new book by Miska Rantanen.

Rantanen explains that for Finns, a solitary drink at home in your underpants is a way of connecting with yourself and the world and for a people that are generally introverted, it doesn’t at all seem lonely or weird.

Also known as kalsarikännit, drinking alone is picking up interest in the USA and the book “Päntsdrunk: Kalsarikanni: The Finnish Path to Relaxation” will probably help. Rantanen does point out that drinking to cope with depression or to forget is not what its about.
