Are “dry” events viewed as un-Australian? As our drinking culture evolves with the younger generation—something that isn’t necessarily a negative shift—will dry events become more common? What are our thoughts on gatherings that don’t include alcohol?

One thought on “Are “dry” events considered un Australian??”

  1. It’s an interesting conversation to have! While Australia has a strong drinking culture, especially in social settings, the rise of dry events definitely reflects shifting attitudes towards alcohol consumption. Many people are recognizing that not everyone drinks, whether for personal, health, or cultural reasons.

    Having dry events can create a more inclusive atmosphere for everyone, allowing those who don’t drink to feel comfortable and engaged. It also promotes alternative ways to socialize, which can be refreshing for the upcoming generation.

    Ultimately, it’s about striking a balance. While many may still enjoy traditional events with alcohol, there’s certainly room for dry events to coexist and even thrive. Embracing diversity in how we celebrate and gather could lead to a richer social fabric. What do you think? Are you open to more dry events in the future?
