Testing of pills/drugs at music festivals in #NZ is to become permanent after positive evaluation of experience last summer. 68% of surveyed festival-goers who used drug-testing services changed their behaviour. This service saves lives. @globalcdp@nzdrug https://t.co/gwQHfojxqb

We're looking for people to test a new “brain-training” app that aims to help people reduce their #alcohol cravings and consumption. https://t.co/S04DxZAtdw https://t.co/7mMi8xE6iN
Early exposure to small amounts of #alcohol can actually increase the risk of binge drinking in later life, Australian researchers have warned.

New @FAREAustralia research with data collected before coronavirus lockdowns showed the majority (75%) of Victorians most frequently drink at either their own or friends’ homes.

This is INCREDIBLE!🎉
We did it - Australia & NZ will soon have a mandatory, visible & effective health warning on alcohol products!
It is amazing to see what we can achieve together.🙌
The actions each of you took made all the difference.👏
THANK YOU!
