This week on the podcast Matt speaks with Andrew Wilsmore, CEO of Alcohol Beverages Australia.

Regular podcast listeners will know of our frustration with some of the “facts” spread by what can only be described as the anti-alcohol lobby and the strategies they employ to do so.

Given alcohol is so easily demonised it was interesting to see that the ABA is the body charged with putting the positive case for moderate consumption – and we stress moderate – and also some of the messaging they were using. I thought it would be worth learning more about the organization and its work.
