I understand why people like to drink alcohol at social events and have no problem with it

I will usually only drink alcohol at social events if others are

I struggle to understand why people get really drunk at social events

It’s a shame that people feel the need to drink alcohol at the social events they attend

Drinking allows me to let loose and have some fun

Drinking allows me to join the fun and be part of the group

Drinking is a personal thing and I’m quite restrained when I drink

I drink alcohol but it’s not something I’m very comfortable with
How well are you able to tolerate places where people are drinking lots of alcohol?

I like going to places where people are drinking a lot of alcohol, it’s often fun

I will go to places where people are drinking a lot if my friends are there

I don’t enjoy going to places where people are drinking a lot of alcohol, even if my friends are there

I avoid places where people are drinking a lot
What most excites you about a night out?

Having fun and making sure my friends are having a good time

Being swept up in what’s going on and enjoying myself

Relaxing and chilling out

Making sure things are planned so I know what’s going on
What role do you play when you go out drinking with friends?

I’m usually in charge of deciding where to go and getting people there

I hope everyone got home safely
When you look at Australian society and its drinking culture what comes to mind?

I’m glad I live in a country where I’m pretty much free to have a drink when and where I want

I’m glad that my friends can get me out for a drink, drinking gets us together

People are free to drink where and when they want as long as they keep it under control

I feel governments and councils need to be doing more to restrict alcohol consumption and deal with bad social behaviour
When you reflect on your general drinking, which statement best reflects you

I sometimes drink more than I should, but it’s my choice

I sometimes get led astray and end up drinking more than I should

I’m always in control and never drink too much

I think it’s sad that people are drinking more than they should
