From the BBC:
The vast majority of Australians worry that national drinking habits are excessive, according to new research.
An online poll commissioned by the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (Fare) also found 92% of Australians believe alcohol is linked to domestic violence.
Fare surveyed 1,820 people across Australia...
Ho hum.
From FARE's our history page:
The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), formerly the Alcohol Education & Rehabilitation Foundation (AERF), is an independent, not-for-profit, national health organisation based in Canberra, Australia.
Established in 2001 by the Australian Parliament with a $115 million grant, the Foundation was set up to distribute funding for programs and research that aimed to prevent the harms caused by alcohol and licit substance misuse...
The balance sheet on page 11 of their 2015 accounts shows they've burned through two-thirds of the original $115 million.
Note 2 on page 20 shows all their investment income, the next largest source is government funding of $164,217, previous year $226,377.
Another one bites the dust

I did read the research from sister organisation Federation of Alcohol Research Trust, but thought there was a nasty smell about the result.
PS, nice one. Another sister organisation, the "Foundation for Alcohol Research of Columbia", went rogue, got into terrorism and drug smuggling and has now been shut down.
