New Zealand's alcohol consumption hit a record low in 2025, with per capita pure alcohol intake dropping to 7.6 litres annually—8.4% lower than the previous year and 24% below 2005 levels.
The average adult now consumes 1.6 standard drinks daily, down from 2.2 in 2011, with beer volume falling 10% to 265 million litres, wine down 11%, and spirits rising slightly.
A shift toward low- and zero-alcohol options is evident, with half of adults reporting occasional use of low-alcohol drinks.
