Fewer young Australians are drinking. And when they do drink, they are drinking less and less often than previous generations at the same age.
It’s a trend happening all around the world.
The proportion of young people who drink infrequently is growing in the long term. In 2001, 13.6% of Australians aged 18–24 drank less than once a month. That’s since increased to 20%, or one in five.
