Looking into the Australian culture of drinking and the correlations it has with crime numbers.
Four out of five Australians aged over 14 years report being recent drinkers and one in five report drinking seven or more drinks on a single occasion at least monthly. 1 Two-thirds (61 per cent) of 18–29-year-olds report consuming alcohol for the purpose of getting drunk.2 The annual cost of alcohol-related harm in Australia is estimated between $15.63 and $36 billion,4 depending on the model used and whether harm to others is included in the model.
