Australia has become a nation held to ransom by binge drinking. One in two Australians are frightened to go out on our streets at night for fear of being targeted by drunken thugs. Join our campaign to Slash the Alcohol Toll and take back our streets. Have you been a victim of drunken violence? What do you think should be done?

Haven’t we all had enough of drunken yobbos taunting people walking by, of young women lying sprawled on the street with vomit down their party dresses and groups of grog-fuelled men wandering our streets looking for a fight? many Australians enjoy a drink responsibly for too many having a drink means getting blink drunk. Our drinking to get drunk culture is destorying this country. We must send the message that boozing and brawling will not be tolerated. And we must demand real action by the federal government instead of a tax grab on one product. It’s 16 days until the alcopops tax is back in the Senate, time is ticking for the Rudd government to do more than just a tax. Binge drinking has devastating consequences on families, neighbours and kids and we must tackle it as a cultural change.
