The focus will be on working together to create real and sustainable change in the way New Zealanders think about and use alcohol.
Over 3000 submissions were received on the discussion paper “Alcohol in our Lives”. This reflects the high level of interest and support New Zealand communities have in addressing issues around the misuse of alcohol and the resulting harm.
