Groggy

The Territory was born soaked in grog. Alcohol has been a part of ourculture for so long, like the Banned Drinkers, it just doesn’t register. If the Northern Territory were a country it would be the second biggest drinking country in the world. Yet, out of a population of 233,000 the focus seems to be on the 64,000 Aboriginal people, out of which only 20% (a total of 12,800) demonstrate hazardous drinking. The numbers don’t add up.’Groggy’ gets behind the bar and takes a look at our biggest drug problem, how it is marketed and who really benefits.
