The marketing messages being used to promote #alcohol during #COVID19 are particularly concerning as they promote known risk factors for harmful drinking: ❌buying more ❌drinking to cope ❌drinking daily ❌drinking at home ❌drinking alone ➡️REPORT: https://t.co/RM5dwpdFwR

Findings from NT MUP report included reductions in alcohol-related assaults, protective custody episodes, ambulance attendances and ED presentations, traffic crashes resulting in injury or fatality, and the number of child protection notifications.

“More than half of Australians (59%) believe that governments should ensure that alcohol products are not sold below the price of bottled water or soft drinks.”

“The evidence is very clear. The most effective measures to reduce alcohol harm are the ones that address availability, promotion and price of alcohol.”

Minimum unit pricing is inexpensive to introduce, and is effective in reducing alcohol related harm and crime #qldpol #alcoholpolicy https://t.co/L4jCK10QEU
