‘Letsj fuhkc’: DrinkWise launches series of short films on how to date properly
Alcohol industry body DrinkWise has followed up its controversial ‘How to Drink Properly’ campaign with a new set of films aimed at teaching youth ‘How to Date Properly’.
The latest set of 15 second pre-rolls from Clemenger BBDO Melbourne use the same style as the original campaign, and are designed to stop people from over-indulging on alcohol in stressful dating situations.
Tips given by the voiceover include how to avoid messing up your chances of a second date by getting drunk at dinner, adding: “Before you try and get your ‘duck on’ remember that nobody likes clingy drunken messages at 1am.”

The original ‘How To Drink Properly’ campaign came in for criticism from some public health advocates who claimed it was actually aimed at making people drink more, a claim rejected by Drinkwise marketing boss, Sion Strahan.
In a statement on the current campaign, Strahan said: “People can occasionally drink too much in awkward social situations as a way of boosting confidence – and dating can be one of the most nerve-racking experiences we face. ‘How to Date Properly’ illustrates that while it is okay to drink, alcohol is not the answer to overcome nerves.
“Slowing their drinking and keeping count of drinks, knowing when to stop, enjoying a meal and adding water to the order will showcase their class to prospective partners – and potentially land them that second date.
“This helps set them up for learning to handle alcohol in social situations throughout their live.”
