grog: Alcohol consumption in Australia and New Zealand

Description

Data are annual apparent alcohol consumption in Australia and New Zealand, in liters of pure alcohol content per annum, separately for beer, wine, and spirits (including spirit-based products).

Usage

data(grog)

source

Australian data are from http://www.abs.gov.au. New Zealand data are derived from data from http://www.stats.govt.nz/people/health/alcohol.htm

Details

Data are total available pure alcohol content, for the three categories, divided by numbers of persons aged 15 years or more. The source data for New Zealand included quarterly figures from December 1997, and annual data to December for all years. The annual New Zealand figure to June 1998 required an estimate for September 1997 that was obtained by extrapolating back the third quarter trend line from later years.
