1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Research from our are You really Surprised? File? Seventy three

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: percent of online Booze orders are being delivered without ID

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: being checked. In some instances, it's arriving on the doorsteps

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: within seventeen minutes. Alcohol Health Watch Executive director Andrew Galloway

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: is with us on this.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: Andrew, Good morning, bdding Mike, how are you very well?

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Thank you? Seventeen minutes is actually good because if you

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: tried using a career lately, it's a miracle.

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Well, you could look at it from a customer zero

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: stection perspective, so.

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: Exactly seventy three percent. See, I got Booze to the

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: house ID, and actually other people did, but Booze came

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: to the house. This a number of times because we're

14
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: doing Christmas shopping right, no one checks and to expect

15
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: them to check as delusional, isn't it.

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: Look? Alcohol is in New Zealand's my typical drug, So

17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: I think we just need to look at it from

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: that perspective as well. When the so unsplored Alcoholic twenty

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: twelve was developed, it was developed for a fucking more

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: mortar style licensing arrangement during COVID One of the other

21
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: I know we talked a lot about labor Day, but

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: during over one of the things that grew quite rapidly

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: was hard delivery for obvious reasons. When in Lockdown's almost

24
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: one in five reported using online delivery for alcoulture and

25
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: ovid And it's understandable, but that trend to keep have

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: delivery and continue delivery is health continued. So I think

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: when we look at some of these results seventy three

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: percent of alcohol, like you say, whether it without age verification,

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: forty nine percent contact list at the door. While you

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: could say that's pragmatic, we do have really high harms

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: from alcohol nine hundred one deaths per year, twenty nine

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: thousand hospitalizations, one hundred and thirty thousand acc claims. So

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: it's not without alcohol and it's not an ordinary commodity.

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: All we're saying. Really the recommendation from this is we

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: probably need to look at the regulations with the developed

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: with the y But how would.

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: You do that though, because it's like going online and

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: ordering in the first place. Are you over eighteen? Click yes,

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: whether you are or not, it'slight the Australians thinking they're

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: going to bean on sixteen year olds from social media.

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: Are you over sixteen. Yes, click you can't get around it.

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: Correct. It's not a full proof system with a click

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: box online. And I went on my remote delivery site

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: last night and it just is if you order, we

45
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: assume that you are. So it's I think they have

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: done it in many states. In Australia, neighboring jurisdiction put

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: time delays on when it is delivered. What we do

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: know from delivery alcohol is that it can extend a

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: drinking session. People can drink more than they intended to

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: and enterd heavier. So I think there can be some

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: simple things done just through a bit of regulation that

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: can reduce some of those harms.

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: Then okay, Andrew appreciate it very much. Andrew Galloway, Alcohol
