This episode discusses alcohol consumption and addiction, including: the prevalence of drinking among young people, how alcohol is connected to our culture in Australia, the risks of drinking for youth, and some things we can do to help us stay safe while drinking. For this we were fortunate to speak with Dr Brendon Dellar who is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology at Curtin University. Brendon specializes in the area of drug and alcohol consumption/addiction, and it was great hearing his insights and knowledge about this topic.
