The National Alliance for Action on Alcohol has scored Queensland as the best overall performer in the 2017 Alcohol Policy Scorecard for government policy responsible for preventing or reducing alcohol related harms. Queensland came out ahead due to the implementation of a number of new policies including last drinks liquor laws. The scorecard measures both scientific evidence regarding which alcohol policies are most effective and what achievable gains could be made, across nine criteria, with Queensland scoring above average in every criterion.
