A number of reports on the Alcohol Behaviour and Attitudes Survey (ABAS) conducted between 2009–2011 for adults (aged 18 and over) are now available (www.hpa.org.nz/research-library/research-publications). These reports provide a snapshot based on combining the three years as well as summarising changes over time.
Report 1.3 focuses on beliefs about drinking/drunkenness and the nature of New Zealand’s drinking issues.
