A qualitative exploration of the Alcohol Harm Paradox – understanding experiences of alcohol-related harm among Australians of different socio-economic status
Background People living in disadvantaged areas experience disproportionately more harms from alcohol compared to those in advantaged areas, despite equivalent or less alcohol consumption. This is known as the ‘alcohol harm paradox’. This study explores how people who drink alcohol from areas of different socio-economic status (SES) describe and perceive the harms they experience from drinking to garner a deeper understanding of the mechanisms th…
Rethinking Alcohol Harm Reduction
Alcohol harm reduction (AHR) includes a pragmatic set of strategies to reduce the acute harms of alcohol consumption without necessarily reducing use, such as managed alcohol plans and intoxication management facilities. While well established in illicit drug research, harm reduction's application to alcohol remains less explicitly examined, both conceptually and in terms of policy articulation. In contrast to population‐level consumption‐reducti…
Hegemonic femininity, motherhood, and alcohol in Australia
Ideals around femininity influence women's health behaviours, particularly for mothers facing hegemonic and gender normative pressures. This relationship becomes more complex when it comes to alcohol, where commercial, moral, health and pleasure-based discourses intersect. We examine how alcohol use is negotiated by employed mothers in the context of intensive motherhood, hegemonic femininity, neoliberal and postfeminist ideals. Drawing on interv…
Social Relationships and Gender-Diverse Young People's Capacities to Manage Problematic Substance Use
Trans and gender-diverse young people seek help from alcohol and drug services at higher rates than their cisgender peers. However, little is known about the factors that influence their capacities to manage problematic substance use. The aim of this study was to explore social relationships as a potential factor shaping these capacities. In the qualitative study reported here, 12 interviews were conducted with five young people aged 19 to 21 yea…
‘ We were all stuffed ’
Background During COVID-19 lockdowns, women and parents were more likely to increase their alcohol use. Working mothers in particular faced additional stressors and roles that may have influenced how they drank. In this study, we explored how the experiences of Australian lockdowns affected drinking practices among a sample of working mothers.Methods Between February and June 2022, we conducted 22 semi-structured interviews with working mothers a…
Risk versus pleasure
Background There have been significant declines in alcohol use for adolescents in high-income countries since the mid-2000s. Research suggests key factors are driving this, including: (1) negative attitudes to alcohol, (2) concern about health, and 3) increased focus on risk aversion. The aim of this article is to understand whether and how these factors change as light drinking adolescents age into early adulthood.Methods Qualitative interviews …
Gender Differences in Alcohol Research
Gender is a social and cultural construct that shapes human experience, and is one of the most significant social determinants of health [1]. Gendered drinking practices are an example of this. Research across different historical periods and cultural contexts has consistently shown that women are more likely to abstain from alcohol consumption [2, 3], while men generally consume more alcohol [3] and are more likely to engage in heavy episodic dr…

Examining gender in alcohol research
Alcohol and legitimate victimhood
This study highlights how gendered expectations and societal attitudes toward alcohol consumption reinforce victim-blaming and undermine the credibility of drink spiking victims. Addressing these structural inequities requires shifting the focus from victims' behaviour to perpetrators and systemic failures. We recommend re-imagining alcohol's role in drink spiking, facilitating sexual violence and denying victims' legitimacy, and interventions th…
I Don’t Know for Certain”
This study analyzed drink spiking posts on Reddit, examining 91 threads and 14,284 comments to understand victim-survivor and bystander experiences. Our analysis produced four themes: contexts of drink spiking, harms experienced, immediate bystander actions, and long-term help-seeking. Drink spiking was often reported by women with male perpetrators, typically occurring in bars, private residences, or parties where alcohol was consumed and other …

A qualitative analysis investigating drinking practices and meanings among a sample of Australian working mothers
Background: Despite recent increases in alcohol use among Western mid-life women, less is known about working mothers and how their competing social roles and responsibilities might influence their alcohol use. Our study unpacks how the experience of being a working mother creates particular drinking practices and meanings, and how these are influenced by cultural and societal factors. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 22 A…
Uncorking the ‘wine mum’
By juxtaposing women's stories with 'wine mum' stereotypes, and the broader feminisation of drinking, we highlight how women's drinking practices are influenced not only by static identities, but the complex interplay between gender, a myriad of fluid social categories, and day-to-day life. We suggest that attending to context and women's everyday experiences is crucial for generating a nuanced understanding of drinking beyond women's traditional…
Alcohol and other drug continuing care for young people
‘Continuing care’ refers to the provision of co-ordinated care and support overtime. Currently, little is known about continuing care programs for young people who complete alcohol and other drug treatment. This paper analyses data from an interview-based study that aimed to identify the generative mechanisms underpinning an innovative continuing care program for young people. Researchers recruited 11 current and former program clients aged 17 to…
Opportunities and limits
Young people in residential alcohol and other drug (AOD) services build meaningful relationships with workers during their stays. In this paper we use an ethics of care framework to explore what young people said about care, how it was delivered and what they valued about it. Drawing on three waves of longitudinal interviews conducted with 38 young people over 12 months, we discuss our findings according to two overarching themes – opportunities …
Drinking alcohol at home feels different from drinking in public places
This paper shows how drinking in one's own home affords different affective experiences to drinking in public settings such as bars, pubs and restaurants. A thematic analysis of interviews with 40 Australians aged 30-65 identified three main variations in alcohol-associated feelings, sensations and urges. Alcohol was used at home to decelerate, but in contrast, people were enlivened when drinking in public venues. Drinking in public generated a s…
Young people returning to alcohol and other drug services as incremental treatment
Young people who attend intensive alcohol and other drug (AoD) treatment commonly do so more than once. This paper aims to understand precipitators, enablers and barriers to young people's re-engagement in programs. Data come from a longitudinal qualitative study involving three waves of interviews with Australian young people recruited while attending intensive AoD programs (n = 38 at wave 1). We found that young people's ambitions for what they…

Per cent of the time when I have had a drink in my hand I’m on my phone as well’
Greater use of communication technologies among young people, including mobile phones, social media and communication apps, has coincided with declines in youth alcohol use in many high-income countries. However, little research has unpacked how drinking as a practice within interconnected routines and interactions may be changing alongside these technologies. Drawing on qualitative interviews about drinking with young people aged 16–23 across th…
Sober Message to Parents”
Traditional news media can both reflect and shape public perceptions, including expectations relating to alcohol and parenting. This paper examines representations of parents in Australian news media reporting on youth drinking to understand how parental standards related to alcohol are constructed and articulated. 150 news articles were sampled from a larger study of youth drinking, in which we identified four representations of parents—parents …
I just wanted a change, a positive change
In this article, we investigate young people's involvement with residential alcohol and other drug (AOD) services as part of their broader engagement with hope. This study draws on qualitative interviews conducted with 20 young people aged 17-23 from Victoria, Australia, who were either in, or had recently left, residential AOD services. Interviews explored their experiences with AOD services and included questions about their hopes for the futur…

No one associates alcohol with being in good health
Young people's drinking has declined markedly in Australia over the past 15 years, and this may be linked to changing norms and values around health. We take the view that healthism-a discourse that privileges good health and renders people personally responsible for managing health-has become pervasive, creating new pressures influencing young people's alcohol practices. Through interviews with 50 young light drinkers and abstainers, we explored…
Reflexive habitus and the new obligation of choice
This article examines how young people construct drinking and non-drinking as a choice by drawing on the concept of reflexive habitus – how individuals in contemporary society habitually negotiate choices around consumption, lifestyle and identity. We explore accounts of non-drinking choices through semi-structured interviews with 50 young people aged 16–19 from Melbourne, Australia, who either abstained from alcohol or drank minimally. Participa…

No Time for a 'Time Out'? Managing Time around (Non)Drinking
Young people's drinking represents a nexus between time, temporalities and social practices. While drinking and intoxication have previously been considered a way to achieve a youthful sense of 'time out', young people's drinking is declining in Australia and other high-income countries, suggesting alcohol's centrality in young people's leisure time has diminished. Drawing on interviews with light and non-drinker teenagers from Melbourne, Austral…

Transdermal monitors to assess alcohol consumption in real-time and real-life – a qualitative study on user-experience
Introduction: Transdermal alcohol monitors, such as Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitors (SCRAMs), enable continuous measurement of alcohol consumption in participants’ natural environments free from recall bias and response burden. This paper explores young research participants’ experience of wearing SCRAMs to provide insights into the potential of the devices to be used for research on a larger scale.Method: In south-east Australia, parti…

How does technology influence young people’s drinking? A complex relationship in need of innovation
Changes in technology use and increased uptake of new forms of digital technology have been hypothesised as one of the key drivers for declining drinking among young people. Although some research has attempted to draw links between technology and young people’s drinking, little work has unpacked this complex relationship with reference to the multitude of ways technology has become a central component of young people’s lives. In this article, we…
Small, slim, sleek, and familiar
Introduction Transdermal alcohol monitors can help overcome issues with self-reporting in alcohol research and offer improvements over other biometric monitors as they provide passive and continuous measurement. The ION Wearable has recently entered the market by Milo Sensors; however, user acceptability has yet to be tested. This paper explores user experiences of an ION Wearable Research Alpha Prototype (ION RAP) monitor to determine if it is a…

Beyond ‘drinking occasions’
Why we stopped using the term ‘aftercare’
The words we choose to describe alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatments and interventions reveal assumptions about how we understand AOD use. Moreover, they have important implications for how the treatment is imagined, implemented and funded. Service provision which follows engagement in an intensive (usually residential) program is often called ‘aftercare’ in the international AOD field. In this commentary, we argue that the term ‘aftercare’ fa…
Qualitative insights on alcohol and other drug consumption during Covid ‐19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, identified in January 2020, quickly spread around the world [1]. Measures adopted to minimise transmission of the virus have varied widely between and within countries, generating a range of unprecedented social and economic transformations. These have led to abrupt and significant changes to people's everyday lives, with profound implications for health and wellbeing. Of interest, and in some cases concern, to pu…
There’s a lot of stereotypes going on”
We identified an intolerance towards regressive constructions of gender that emphasise weakness for women and strength for men and a valorisation of gendered expressions of maturity through controlled drinking. Though subtle differences in gendered drinking practices between and within countries were observed, our findings offer insight into how young people's enactions of gender are embedded in, and evolve alongside, these large declines in yout…
