Abstract

This report describes qualitatively and quantitatively, the impact of alcohol use upon the Tennant Creek Community – its social life, its physical and social health and its working life. ¶ It also attempts to characterise the nature and structure of the interactions that take place between people who utilise drinking as their medium of expression.
