Little late but this is a cool paper I was happy to be a part of led by @piamakela.bsky.social published in Addiction. Some indications that we need to rethink cut-off AUDIT-C scores in older populations onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Very proud of @alextorney.bsky.social 's work on this paper. Over 40% of cask wine brands appear to be owned by retailers, and these brands are often cheaper than others.

Really interesting article on lifetime consumption that is super important for work on long term harms. One thing that the authors pointed to was the lack of internal consistency measurement. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A bit late, but I was super proud to see @yvettemp.bsky.social graduate with fellow supervisor @birdmichael.bsky.social on Monday. She also won @latrobeuni.bsky.social's Nancy Mills Medal for an outstanding thesis, no big deal. Sadly missing with the flu was @amypennay.bsky.social .

Great to see something written about this by an actual teenager. And this 15yo makes so many good points. Including, "If tech companies have the capability to delete accounts for people under the age of 16, they also have the capability to delete accounts that bully, harass or cause harm."

New from @meganpcook.bsky.social, @amypennay.bsky.social and myself in @ijdrugpolicy.bsky.social - we talk about the current focus on how women's consumption influences their risk of assault. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Very proud of @alextorney.bsky.social winning a commendation for being a wonderful person to work with - very well deserved!

If there are any colleagues that would like to join the CAPR AFLW tipping competition, please let me know! If you like to win, our tipping standards have historically been . . . not high.

Excited to be starting work to better understand the Alcohol Harm Paradox in Australia; thanks to the Conversation for their interest in this work @theconversation.com theconversation.com/why-alcohol-...

Oh Instagram no

Have a read of our editorial in @apsad-dar.bsky.social, led by @meganpcook.bsky.social, where we argue that we need to start focusing more on men in non-medical alcohol research in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The Liberal party now only holds two seats previously held by its leaders - Wannon (Fraser) and Cook (Morrison). Voters comprehensively rejected it. The question is - will Labor? www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Is it just me or are journal spam emails getting sarcastic and/or passive aggressive?

New report examining whether differences in parent cohort explain the decline in adolescent drinking. Spoilers, they don't! doi.org/10.1111/dar.... Many thanks to my co-authors @sarahcallinan.bsky.social @amypennay.bsky.social @alextorney.bsky.social @birdmichael.bsky.social

Really proud to have been a part of this absolutely massive study led by @meganpcook.bsky.social and glad to see it up online in @ijdrugpolicy.bsky.social . We found that despite men drinking more and experiencing more harm, there are more single-gender studies on women.

Thanks to all the Bluesky people who just reply “it will get worse” to whatever you post, it both solves the problem and makes you feel better

Super proud of my amazing sister, Joey, graduating from her Bachelor of Nursing today!

Coming in April 2025, we are very excited about this! @soc-researcher.bsky.social @gabrielcaluzzi.bsky.social @jholmessheff.bsky.social www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/1...

Cool test-purchasing study on home delivery of alcohol out in JSAD today! Main takeaway for me: rapid delivery is *quick* - usually at the door within an hour.
