Abstract

The alcohol consumption patterns of adult South Australians were surveyed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in October 1983.

RESULTS indicate that, since 1977, there has been a significant increase in alcohol consumption by women, while the overall consumption of alcohol, particularly beer, by older men has significantly decreased. Comparisons are made between the drinking behaviour of men and women, and the implications for medical personnel are presented.
