Apparent Consumption of Alcohol, Australia, 2008-09

The Australian Bureau of Statistics has published 'Apparent consumption of alcohol, Australia, 2008-09' which provides estimates of the apparent consumption of alcohol based on the availability of alcoholic beverages in Australia. It provides estimates of the quantity of pure alcohol available for consumption from beer, wine, spirits, and ready to drink (pre-mixed) beverages, plus estimates of the total volume of beer and wine available for consumption.

The publication also provides estimates of apparent per capita consumption, the total apparent consumption for the total population aged 15 years and over. The population of 15 years and over is consistent with methodology used internationally for measuring trends in apparent consumption over time. (ABS 4307.0.55.001)
