...40% do.
Interesting excerpt from the Australian Institute of Health article;
"Daily tobacco smoking and risky drinking also rose with increasing remoteness, and the overall decline in daily smoking rates between 2010 and 2013 was only significant for people living in Major cities. People living in Remote and Very Remote areas were twice as likely to have used methamphetamines in 2013 as people in non-remote areas."

60% of Aussies don't drink, smoke or do drugs because...
In 2013, over 40% of Australians smoked daily, drank alcohol in ways that put them at risk of harm or used an illicit drug in the previous 12 months, according to a report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
The National Drug Strategy Household Survey detailed report: 2013 builds on key findings from the survey (released online in July 2014), presenting more detailed analysis, including comparisons between population groups and states and territories.
It shows that there is often a relationship between daily smoking, risky drinking and recent illicit drug use, with almost 11% of Australians reporting 2 or more of these risky behaviours and about 3% of engaged in all 3 behaviours.
'Half (49%) of daily smokers had consumed alcohol at risky quantities, (either more than 2 standard drinks a day on average or more than 4 on a single occasion at least once a month),' said AIHW spokesperson Geoff Neideck.

soA standard drink is a notional drink that contains a specified amount of pure alcohol (ethanol). The standard drink is used in many countries to quantify alcohol intake. It is usually expressed as a certain measure of beer, wine, or spirits. One standard drink always contains the same amount of alcohol regardless of the container size or the type of alcoholic beverage, but does not necessarily correspond to the typical serving size in the country in which it is served.
The standard drink varies significantly from country to country. For example, it is 10 grams (12.7 ml) of alcohol in Australia[1] and New Zealand;[2] in Japan it is 25 ml (19.75 grams).
Standard drinks as defined by various countries
The amount of alcohol is stated in the table in both grams and millilitres. The number of standard drinks contained in 500ml of beer of 5% ABV (a typical large drink of beer) is stated for comparison.[7]
Country ........................... Australia
Mass (g) ......................... 10
Volume (ml) ................... 12.67
500 ml beer contains ..... 2.0 standard drinks

less than 2 cans of cambodia beer a day is risky drinking by these guys standards
in fact if I drink 2 cans of cambodia beer then Ive exceeded the 2 standard drinks a day recommendation by a wopping 30%
either I should have died from chronic alcoholism years ago or Im about to croak like a pickled frog or theyre talking an absolute pile of shite.
2 cans of cambodia beer a day is 30% too much?
Fkoff 'experts' your more than 4 standard drinks on a single occasion in a month is not even worth considering as the lower limit for a daily rehydration amount before even taking into account any kind of a buzz.
60% of Aussies are sour sacks because they cant afford to play like the other 40%
