About this episode

Young Aussies are drinking less than any other generation according to a new study of more than 23,000 Australians.

So why are young people giving up booze? And what's it like to quit drinking in your 20s?

Plus pro-Palestinian activists want to hold a rally at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday, but police say it will be too dangerous. So what happens now?
