New expectations for drinking out are reshaping the On Premise—and it’s not just about going alcohol-free. 🍸 Insights from Tom Graham and The Drinks Association reveal that 62% of Australian On Premise consumers now describe their drinking as “moderated.” That means fewer drinks per occasion, more low-ABV choices, and more intentional consumption. The shift is driven by a mix of health goals, financial pressures, and age-specific motivations. For example: • 18–34s are focused on sleep and fitness. • 35–54s want to avoid hangovers and stay in control. • 55+ cite health and cost as key reasons. For drinks brands and hospitality operators, this is a clear signal to rethink product ranges, messaging, and experiences. Tailoring to these motivations could unlock new loyalty and growth.
