Thinking of cutting back or cutting out alcohol? Next time you're offered an alcoholic drink, try saying "I'm good!"
Because your decision doesn't need a big explanation.

Every boy should feel confident to grow up without feeling confined by narrow stereotypes of masculinity, including norms around alcohol.
When boys feel pressured to act tough, strong and stoic, this has potential to cause harm to themselves and others.
These harms are preventable.

Communities expect that when new approaches to marketing and selling alcohol are introduced, appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent harm.
But that didn't occur with online sale and delivery, which has made alcohol more accessible and rapidly available in the home. 🧵

Estimates are that up to one million Australians are currently living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) - the equivalent of one child in every classroom.
Yet, many people have not even heard about this hidden disability, which often goes undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed.

But while more people know about FASD, training for health professionals, policy reform and investment are still lacking.

He reached out to @nofasdaustralia.bsky.social and 9 months later, got a diagnosis.
Now, Gilberto raises awareness of FASD – with the hope more people who are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed can access support.

Every state and territory must do whatever it takes to act on violence towards women and children.
One of the many levers they can pull is common-sense changes to alcohol laws.
As Kym Valentine explains, these are evidence-based measures supported by victim survivors, experts, and the community.
