Alcohol.net.au is an independent information site for Australian adults. We explain drink types, standard drinks, ABV, and the NHMRC 2020 guidelines. We do not sell alcohol, take affiliate commissions on products, or treat a style page as a reason to drink.
Definition
Independent education. Editorial pages that cite official Australian sources. Not a clinic, not a retailer, and not a government website.
