The number of Australians seeking out alcohol support services is climbing, according to a new report released today by the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE).
The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a catalyst for turbulence in Australia. With Australia now well into the third year of this pandemic, there is clear evidence on the growing harms from alcohol.
A new report by FARE has confirmed more alcohol is flowing into the homes of Australians than ever before, causing concerns for increased harms to families and communities
FARE has released new resources to support people thinking about cutting back on or stopping drinking alcohol this New Year.
With the extension of COVID restrictions affecting many Australians, FARE is reminding people that there are supports available if they have concerns about their drinking or the drinking of someone they know.
Loneliness and social isolation have been associated with an increased risk of such mental health problems as anxiety and depression, which often co-occur with AOD problems.
This report provides an analysis of the website traffic of online alcohol retailers from 2018 to 2020 to observe changes in website traffic. This report also examines whether any controls are in place to prevent alcohol being sold to children online.
A new survey by the Victorian Alcohol and Drug Association (VAADA) has found that 70% of alcohol and other drug (AOD) services reported more people are seeking help for alcohol use since the pandemic began in Australia
There is growing concern about the impact of increases in retail alcohol sales during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the influence of largely unregulated alcohol advertising.
This Report provides a snapshot of the recent available data on alcohol use and harm during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, focusing on the period between March – May 2020.
