Thankfully I live in Victoria. Cheers!

Sometimes there's life and then there's long life..

So if they change the amount they drink or even stop drinking all together they will avoid death?

I’ll drink to that 😉

Drinking more is a change right?

We are all at risk of death. We are all going to die.

Some of the oldest people to ever live drank and smoked. Everything in moderation. Stop being a puss and get a drink up ya

Giving time to family and work & prayer to find yourself helps decreasing drinking habit.

Once the state is a coal mine with a dead reef what other options do they have?

Cheers
