The National Binge Drinking Campaign
The Australian Government’s National Binge Drinking Strategy aims to address the high levels of binge drinking among young Australians. The Don’t Turn a Night Out into a Nightmare campaign is designed to encourage teenagers and young adults to think about the choices they make about drinking, and particularly the possible negative consequences of excessive alcohol consumption. Excessive drinking can lead to alcohol related harm. This harm may include health problems, injury, violence and social problems including the breakdown of relationships.
