Big drop in alcohol available for consumption

The latest data from Stats NZ is interesting.

  • Volume of alcoholic available for consumption down 10 million litres or 2%
  • Beer volume down 6.5 million litres
  • down 4.5 million litres or 7%
  • The amount of pure per adult has dropped from 9.6 litres in 2010 to 9.1 litres in 2014

So again the moral panic over how we're drinking and abusing more alcohol is not supported by the data.
