| The sale and supply of alcohol to under 18 year olds in New Zealand
Catalogue No:
(April 2007)
Reflecting the wider New Zealand drinking culture, alcohol use is also common among young people. Despite people under the age of 18 being unable to legally purchase alcohol themselves, the 2004 Health Behaviours Survey found that 56% of 12-17 year olds had consumed alcohol in the last 12 months. However, while the youth drinking culture may broadly mirror the adult drinking culture, young people tend to have especially risky drinking patterns that result in their experiencing a disproportionate amount of alcohol-related harm. When they drink, young people are more likely to binge and consume large quantities of alcohol in one session. Given that this pattern of bingeing and intoxication has been shown to result in the greatest amount of alcohol-related harm, underage drinking and the sale and supply of alcohol to minors is a genuine source of concern to the community. |

| Interventions by Specialised AOD Clinicians in Justice Settings : a Review of Literature
Catalogue No:
AL537
(Oct2006)
Evidence suggests that a significant proportion of people in criminal justice settings in New Zealand, and internationally, use alcohol and other drugs (AOD) problematically (Whitney 1992, Lapham 2005, Peters and Wexler 2005). The literature indicates that involvement in criminal justice settings increases the chance of the identification of substance abuse problems, better engages people in treatment and delivers more successful treatment than for people in a general population (Project MATCH Research Group 1997, Miller et al 2000, Hussain et al 2005). |

| The Way We Drink 2005 - Executive Summary
Catalogue No:
AL431
(Apr2006)
This report presents the results of a survey of New Zealanders, 12 years of age and older, conducted in March and April 2005. Commissioned by the Alcohol Advisory Council, it was specifically undertaken in order to identify and segment the current attitudes (motivators and inhibitors) and behaviours of New Zealanders towards the consumption of alcohol.
The current survey also updates a similar segmentation study conducted between June and September 2003, following the launch of the first stage of a significant communications campaign in March 2005, designed to help positively influence attitudes and behaviours with regard to New Zealand’s risky drinking culture, particularly as it relates to raising awareness that risky drinking is endemic in New Zealand and not necessarily “somebody else’s problem” (alternatively, “not my problem”). Accordingly, as well as updating 2003 findings, the current survey also measured early impacts of the new communications campaign – the “See” campaign. ALAC Occasional Paper No. 27. |
