    The importance of moderation during COVID-19

    COVID-19 has created great uncertainty for many Australians, particularly in relation to our health, well-being, general feelings of stability and financial security.

    How much have you had to drink?

    In Australia, a standard drink refers to 10 grams of alcohol. On average, this is how much the human body can process in one hour.

    The effects of alcohol on your body

    When enjoyed in moderation, alcohol can form part of a healthy lifestyle that includes good diet and exercise. On the other hand, excessive drinking can have harmful effects on your health.

    Is there such a thing as safe drink driving?

    Most of us are in a car every day, so it’s easy to forget how complex driving really is. When you’re behind the wheel you need total concentration, good coordination, rapid reflexes and the ability to make correct judgments and decisions. Drinking alcohol diminishes that.
