This research provides the latest estimates of how many people are affected by alcohol’s harm to others. This is the harm from drinking that occurs, not from one’s own drinking, but from the drinking of others, including intimate partners, family members, friends, coworkers and members of the public.
It uses data from the 2021 Australian Alcohol’s Harm to Others Survey, as well as national and state data on harms from health, social assistance, police and justice agencies.
The study also provides information from interviews on experiences of participants affected by others’ drinking.
