“…The increase of women's social and financial freedom has been capitalised on by the alcohol industry's ‘feminisation’ of beverages and venues [7], revealing that the interconnection between gender and other external factors—including marketing—influences alcohol cultures. As such, Mackiweicz [20] argues that it is important to ‘examine the interaction between young women (and young men) and the social context of alcohol consumption’ (p. 73). Others have called this a gender‐relations approach [21].…”

Scholarship indicates that gender norms influence drinking behaviours, yet the consequences of this for health professionals and health promotion remains neglected. To address this gap, we discuss the implications of gender and alcohol consumption for Australian health promotion and practice. We convey how a more integrated public health approach, aimed at promoting healthy gender expectations and enhancing gender relations, is warranted. We also discuss how changing gender norms pose new challenges for health professionals. By confronting these contentious issues, this commentary helps the health sector consider innovative measures to combat alcohol‐related harms.

“…While alcohol data suggests a complex consumption picture, especially among 16-24-year-olds, intoxicated drinking remains a concern in countries where alcohol consumption is high such as European countries including the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand (WHO, 2018). Measham and Brain's (2005) concept of a 'culture of intoxication' is useful in understanding the determinedness of drunkenness where the aim of a night out is to become intoxicated (Fry, 2011) and this is not only accepted, but also expected and normalised within many young people's social lives (Mackiewicz, 2015).…”

Social media platforms that enable users to create and share online content with others are used increasingly in social research. This article explores the complex ethical issues associated with using social media for data collection, drawing on a study of the alcohol consumption practices of young people. It aims to contribute to debates about the practical and ethical challenges facing researchers using social media as a data collection tool, and to demonstrate how a reflexive approach to the research and the context in which the research takes place is critically important for supporting and enabling an ethical approach. The article concludes by recommending that researchers who face ethical dilemmas associated with the use of social media maintain an ongoing dialogue with their relevant ethics committees and other researchers to identify potential solutions and to share their findings.

Research suggests that there is no safe amount of alcohol but despite this alcohol consumption remains an important part of many [young] people's lives. Viewed as an inherently social activity, drinking alcohol provides an opportunity for socialising and connecting with friends. This study is one of the first to draw on practice theory to explore one type of intoxicated drinking occasion engaged in by young people; framed in this article as a ‘proper night out’. This article argues that this hybrid entity is made up of a series of interconnected social practices that have come and now hang together to serve to normalise and routinise intoxicated drinking occasions. The operationalisation of practice theory has enabled an in‐depth exploration of intoxicated drinking and provides the potential for new ways of intervening in harmful drinking practices by refocusing attention away from individual level decision‐making to drinking practices.
