New article by our PhD student Kira Button - examining the consequences individuals reported experiencing after being sexually harassed in a nightlife setting

Alcohol continues to contribute to significant harm in Australia. A new study from NDRI revealed that since Covid there has been an increase in hospitalisations for alcohol-related liver disease. It's time for governments to prioritise action to reduce alcohol-related harms in Australia.

Teenage alcohol consumption is in decline in many Western countries. However, is alcohol harm among young people also falling? In our latest blog, Emma Vieira of Australia's National Drug Research Institute explains the findings of her systematic review. www.ias.org.uk/2025/04/22/a...

A useful primer here from @nic-alcohol.bsky.social and Cass Wright on the evidence and politics behind Australia's Northern Territory removing their Minimum Unit Price for alcohol last month: www.ias.org.uk/2025/04/01/g...

Australia's Northern Territory has removed Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) for alcohol. Evidence strongly suggests this repeal was driven by politics, not facts. Dr Nic Taylor (@nic-alcohol.bsky.social) and Dr Cassandra Wright unpack the arguments and evidence. www.ias.org.uk/2025/04/01/g...

Join our webinar on 29 May to learn everything you need to know about Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) of alcohol. Leading experts will explore the theory behind the policy, its impact in Scotland and Wales, & crucially, what England can learn from their experiences. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/minimum-un...

Fun brief report examining the impact (or rather, lack of impact) the NT MUP had on alcohol retailers' revenue doi.org/10.1111/dar.... Thanks to my co-authors @ryanbaldwin.bsky.social Emma Vieira and @birdmichael.bsky.social - @apsad-dar.bsky.social

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

Thrilled to have our systematic review of the differences in the way women and men have been studied in alcohol research over the past decade up online at IJDP - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....

Fantastic new article by our PhD student Emma Vieira examining how alcohol-related harms among adolescents have shifted in countries that have seen a decline in adolescent drinking onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The Northern Territory has officially removed their MUP. It is hard to say exactly what will happen from here. There will likely be a rise in alcohol-related harm, but the magnitude is hard to estimate. When introduced the policy covered roughly 20% of the market, inflation has likely reduced that.
