The marketing messages being used to promote #alcohol during #COVID19 are particularly concerning as they promote known risk factors for harmful drinking:
❌buying more
❌drinking to cope
❌drinking daily
❌drinking at home
❌drinking alone

"The majority of our #alcohol is already consumed at home, so the majority of harm... already occurs at home. Things like #familyviolence and #chronicillness. But 'we' don't talk about them because they're not visible" - FARE CEO @catgiorgi on @FionaWyllie4 ABC NSW Drive #covid19

[FARE @FAREAustralia]

"I've seen lots of advertising that's referred to #isolation, or using #alcohol to cope during this time, and those sorts of things should just not be allowed" - FARE CEO @catgiorgi on @FionaWyllie4 ABC NSW Drive #covid19 #covid19au #auspol

Alarming new statistics show that 1-in-5 Australians have purchased more #alcohol than usual during the #COVID19 pandemic.
