We all want our families to have access to clear information about the health and safety of the products they buy – especially products that may harm our children. From 31 July 2023, alcoholic products sold in Australia will be required by law to display a visible pregnancy health warning.
Families watching the 2023 State of Origin are bombarded with marketing of harmful products like alcohol, gambling and unhealthy foods, which cause significant ill health and social harm in Australia.
At the moment, alcohol causes harm to far too many Australians through contributing to chronic diseases, family violence, self-harm and suicide.

This research analysed Hello Sunday Morning (HSM) blog posts, and used qualitative questionnaires and alcohol consumption surveys to examine what participants blogged about, what their motivations, goals and challenges were, and how their alcohol consumption and expectancies changed over time.
The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) carried out an analysis of the submissions made by alcohol industry bodies to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs Inquiry into Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
This thesis explores the concepts of post-modernity and normalisation as they relate to the culture and practices of a group of 25 young people in Melbourne who call themselves the ‘A-Team’.

This study uses data from the National Drug Strategy Household Survey to examine Australians’ perceptions of low-risk drinking over a period where the official Australian Guidelines relating to drinking were changed.
The primary purpose of this report was to examine the rate of, and develop predictors for, alcohol consumption during pregnancy. To do this, data from the 2010 National Drug Strategy Household Survey were analysed.
Drink driving is a major public health issue and this report examines the experiences of convicted offenders who participated in an established drink driving rehabilitation program Under the Limit (UTL).
Research on women’s drinking behaviour is limited. Evidence shows women are at higher risk than men for detrimental physical, medical, social and psychological effects of at-risk alcohol consumption.
The report sought to determine people’s perspectives of the effectiveness of two alcohol labelling regimes, the FARE alcohol health warning labels and DrinkWise’s consumer information labels. The report found that the FARE labels were superior on all measures.
There is increasing evidence that a growing proportion of young people are using alcohol in combination with energy drinks. There is currently no prevalence data available in Australia on alcohol energy drink (AED) use.
