A new study has found young Queensland men are less likely to binge drink than their male parent and grandparents.
One in five adult Queenslanders drink at risky levels, with three-quarters of these being men, however, those between the ages of 18 and 29 have been bucking this trend.
Queensland Health chief psychiatrist and chief alcohol officer John Reilly said while a number of things may be influencing this trend, it indicates that the preventative health messages around alcohol are getting through.
