The report shows: 9.9 litres of pure alcohol was available for consumption in 2012-13 for every person in Australia aged 15 years and over. This is 1.6% less than the amount in 2011-12 (10.0 litres) and 8.2% less than 2007-08 (10.8 litres).As a standard drink consists of 12.5mls of pure alcohol, this is equivalent to an average of 2.2 standard drinks per day per person aged 15 years and over.The data also showed a downward trend in beer as the preferred drink – beer 40.9%, wine 37.4%, spirits 13.1%, ready to drinks 6.6% and cider 2%.
