My first PhD paper is now online! Written together with Michael Livingston, Amy Pennay and @callinan_sarah we examined the relationship between alcohol consumption, psychological distress and COVID-19 related circumstances over the first eight months of the pandemic in Australia.

More than two-thirds of Australian adults have been adversely affected by someone else’s alcohol consumption, costing the country an estimated $20 billion a year in emergency healthcare, caring and lost productivity, say CAPRAustralia researchers. smh.com.au/national/alcoh…

Think you know why younger people are drinking less? It is complex and evolving, but Australian and UK scholars bust myths and provide some of the answers. theconversation.com/youth-drinking… 🍺 Amy Pennay

It's been a big week for CAPR at Kettil Bruun Society in Fremantle. From AI, youth drinking, alcohol's harms to others, purchasing patterns, women's drinking, climate change and more, we've covered a lot of ground. Here's a few of our brilliant presenters in action!


Strong representation from team CAPR last week at Kettil Bruun Society. A great time catching up with colleagues old and new!
