On August 23, 2010, the government of New Zealand announced they would introduce new laws regulating the sale of liquor. The proposed legislative changes follow the release of the Law Commission’s Report entitled “Alcohol in Our Lives: Curbing the Harm” that was published last April.

The government announced that 126 of the Commission’s 153 recommendations would be implemented although not all in the same form that was detailed in the report.

The impetus for the Law Commission’s report and government action is the heavy drinking that New Zealanders, especially young people, engage in. The country has a culture of binge drinking that is defined as consuming more than eight drinks at one sitting. In January 2008, the New Zealand Drug Foundation was quoted in the Epoch Times as saying that the heaviest drinkers in the country were 18 and 19 year olds. And teenage binge drinkers were more than twice as likely to suffer harm as any other group.
