New Zealanders drinking behaviour may be improving, according to new data.
This year's Health Survey shows a record low 16% of the adult population reporting hazardous drinking, an almost 3% drop on the year before.
NZ Alcohol Beverages Council Executive Director Virginia Nicholls told Mike Hosking that positive community support and education have definitely played a role.
She says she thinks there's been a positive cultural change happening for at least the past 20 years.
