On Thursday the National Drug Law Enforcement Research Fund (NDLERF) released a new study involving young drinkers in nighttime entertainment districts in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Wollongong and Geelong.
The study investigated:
• the levels of intoxication of people in and around licensed venues;
• the types of substances being used by people in and around venues;
• the relationship between time of evening, duration of drinking episode and level of intoxication and harmful
or risky behaviour;
• the relationship between consuming illicit drugs (or prescription drugs being used illegally); alcohol, and
level of intoxication, and harmful or risky behaviour;
• the relationship between consuming energy drinks, alcohol, and level of intoxication, and harmful or risky
behaviour, and
• jurisdictional differences between alcohol consumption, substance use, energy drink use, levels of
intoxication, and harmful or risky behaviour.
