IARD members are committed to reducing the harmful use of alcohol and have a long history of working in partnership with others as part of a whole-of-society approach.  

The last 10 years have seen declines in binge-drinking, drinking and driving, and underage drinking in many countries. IARD members are committed to building on these positive trends and actively support international goals to reduce harmful drinking.
