Research shows a majority of Australians want fewer alcohol advertisements shown on television.

The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education says three in four people want fewer alcohol ads on TV, while four in five want alcohol ads restricted during children's viewing hours, including sports broadcasts.

CEO, Ayla Chorley, says "there is strong evidence marketing influences alcohol consumption, and alcohol continues to cause significant harm across Australia."
