Public consultation on the draft revised Australian alcohol guidelines for low-risk drinkingThe Australian Alcohol Guidelines: health risks and benefits, issued by the NHMRC in 2001, are currently under review by the NHMRC in collaboration with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. The draft revised Australian alcohol guidelines for low-risk drinking are now available for public consultation.
These draft guidelines are intended to give Australians clear guidelines on how to avoid, or minimise, the harmful consequences of drinking alcohol — both the immediate effects of each drinking occasion and the longer-term effects of regular drinking.
When finalised the guidelines will provide a valuable resource for a wide range of groups and individuals including health professionals, community groups, professional and educational organisations, policy makers, the general public and those businesses responsible for providing alcohol.
You are invited to make a submission to the NHMRC about the draft revised Australian alcohol guidelines for low-risk drinking:
