New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows less alcohol was consumed in the past year.

The Bureau of Statistics says almost 186 million litres of pure alcohol was consumed from 2016 to 2017 - that's 2.4 million litres less than the previous year.

That means 9.4 litres of pure alcohol each year is consumed for every person aged 15 years or over - the equivalent of 2.6 standard drinks per person per day.

Louise Gates, from the Bureau of Statistics, says the proportion of people who don't drink or rarely drink has been increasing over time leading to alcohol consumption falling to its lowest level since 1961.

Overseas residents with a culture of alcohol abstinence immigrating to Australia could be one of the factors behind the fall.
