The recent Victorian Alcohol Statistics has revealed the increasing toll of alcohol consumption, leading to a 50% increase in alcohol associated assaults.

State Mental Health and Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge said , “This is the most comprehensive, detailed analysis of the impact of alcohol across the state, it’s critical for developing solutions."
In her opinion, stepping up the presence of police on the streets, enforcing stricter liquor licensing laws, as well as keeping a check on supply of alcohol to minors, may be some of the immediate actionable points the government should consider.
