DRINKING? DRINK MINDFULLY

As Year 12 ‘Schoolies’ celebrations kick off around the country each November, DrinkWise works to remind all school leavers of safe alcohol consumption.

You know what’s great to hear? Most Australian parents (89%) aren’t supplying their underage teenagers with alcohol and the majority of underage teenagers in Australia are choosing not to drink alcohol (69%).

Each year in the lead up to NRL State of Origin and the NRL and AFL Finals series, some of the game’s heavyweights and archrivals join with DrinkWise, State Police forces, governments and support services to remind the community to Always respect, always DrinkWise.

Australians love to celebrate big sporting and cultural moments. The shared collective spirit of Australians, coming together to cheer on their team is a ritual common to a lot of us. Partaking in a few drinks while at these events is also a ritual many enjoy.

DrinkWise aims to influence young Australian adults to drink responsibly – by reducing the intensity and frequency of risky drinking, especially on a single occasion.
