In 2022, alcoholic drinks in Australia saw little movement in total volume sales. However, 2022 was a transitionary year for alcoholic drinks in Australia, as the country gradually normalised after all restrictions and border closures were lifted at the beginning of the year, and the overall stasis masked very different performances on-trade and off-trade. On-trade sales saw a dramatic rebound in 2022, as Australians moved to their new post-pandemic routines.
