Dry July: Are Gen Z Really Giving Up The Grog?

We often hear news stories about new research that suggests younger Aussies are choosing to drink less than those in older age groups, but is that true and if so, why?

The Quicky speaks to a young, former drinker and an alcohol policy researcher to separate fact from fiction about just how much booze we are really drinking, and how bad or not it is for our overall wellbeing.
