The total revenue generated by the consumption of these beverages was estimated to be $218 million, of which the government received approximately $107 million or 49% in taxation revenue. Total revenue per underage drinker is estimated at $430.84 with revenue increasing with age. Males tend to spend more on spirits and beer while females spend more on pre-mixed spirits. Females aged 12–15 years spend around $121 per year (or 50% of total expenditure) on pre-mixed spirits compared to females aged 16–17 years old that spend around $257 per year (or 62% of total expenditure) on pre-mixed spirits.ConclusionsThe Australian government and the alcohol industry receive substantial financial benefit from the sale of alcoholic beverages to under age drinkers.
