There have been several incidents involving sporting clubs and excessive drinking across the state in the last few years. These include : 

  • arrests for drunk and disorderly behaviour
  • reports of abusive and violent behaviour
  • racial and sexual abuse
  • accounts of vandalism and trashing of property
  • drink driving incidents
  • deaths resulting from alcohol poisoning or violence; and
  • bad publicity including front page news
