Abstract: PointsEstimates from a 1998 national survey were made of how much alcohol was drunk in Australia at risky levels for health.A large proportion (39%) was consumed at levels that posed health risks in the long term.Most (51%) of the alcohol consumed in Australia in 1998 posed short-term health risks to the drinker.9% of both male and female drinkers were at medium or high risk of long-term health problems due to alcohol (e.g.liver disease).46% of male and 32.5% of female drinkers were at risk of short-term harm from drinking (e.g.injury) at least once a month.People aged below 25 years had the riskiest drinking patterns.
