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.
