The Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drugs Council launched a framework on Monday to prevent and intervene on the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs.

The plan, heralded 

‘‘Everybody’s Business’’, calls for a review of the legal drinking age, reviewing the legal blood alcohol level for driving to 0.00 and restricting alcohol at sporting and family events.

Council chief executive Jann Smith said the plan would target attitudes and culture that promoted alcohol and smoking at harmful levels.

‘‘We’ve actually been hearing from the community that they do want to see much greater restriction and control on the availability of alcohol,’’ Ms Smith said.

‘‘It’s really important that people understand that drinking every day and drinking to excess is not something we can continue to maintain – we need to reconsider our relationship with all of those substances,’’ she said.

Ms Smith said happy hours and drink promotions would be targeted under the plan.

‘‘These are the sorts of promotions that actually can lead people into drinking much more than they anticipated,’’ she said.

‘‘If we can restrict those promotions, we also know people are more likely to make better choices.’’

Tasmanian Hospitality Association general manager Steve Old said more than 70per cent of alcohol was bought and consumed away from licensed premises.

‘‘They should be arguing that they want to see more people drinking in regulated environments,’’ he said.

Health Minister Michael Ferguson said the plan sets out goals and activities that build on work already under way and identifies stakeholders who would work together to implement specific initiatives.

‘‘This is a complex issue which will require a whole-of-community approach,’’ he said.

More than 40per cent of Australians smoke daily, drink alcohol in a way that puts them at risk or use illicit drugs.
