Drinking culture in Australia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Drinking culture in Australia
Alcohol is widely used and enjoyed in Australian society. It is served in many social and recreational situations, and its use is often encouraged. While drinking alcohol is often seen as intrinsic to Australian culture, the effects associated with overconsumption don’t just affect the individual, but also the wider national community. In 2012, it was estimated that Australians spent $14.1 billion each year on alcohol. Alcohol related harm in Australia is estimated at an annual cost of more than $15 billion. == Legislation and Guidelines ==
In Australia, 18 is the legal age at which someone may purchase alcohol. Many leading health experts claim young peoples' brain development are still vulnerable to alcohol’s toxicity at the age of 18. The Australian government is constantly confronted on raising the legal drinking age to 21 to protect the health of young people. Liquor outlets across Western Australia are required to request identification from those who look under 25 years of age when purchasing alcohol. Police cadets, most of whom are around 18 years of age, are often used to research retailers who would sell them alcohol. In 2013, 72 out of 100 cadets were able to purchase alcohol without showing identification in the Perth metropolitan area. The National Health and Medical Research Council issues guidelines for alcohol use in Australia.
