A new report from the Alcohol and Society research series finds that more than half of all alcohol consumption takes place in contexts that lead to intoxication. The authors warn that this pattern is not marginal but normalised, and that it drives both acute harms and long-term health risks.

A new survey by Ipsos for Av-og-til shows that 4 in 10 Norwegians have seen intoxicated adults with children on May 17 in the past two years. The findings vary across counties, with Oslo at 50%. Av-og-til urges adults to be mindful of their alcohol use on Norway’s national day, which should remain a joyful celebration for children.
