You’ve seen the show, now meet the experts.

Curious to know more about alcohol and drinking culture in Australia?

Has ‘On the Sauce’ made you think differently about drinking and alcohol?

Here’s your chance to ask questions to two stars of the show from La Trobe University’s Centre for Alcohol Policy Research (CAPR) – Emmanuel Kuntsche and Megan Cook.

Emmanuel and Megan will be joined by the CEO from the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), Caterina Giorgi, and the panel will be moderated by Professor Rob Moodie.

Do you want to know more about why we drink, what children know about drinking, drinking at home, online delivery, or anything else discussed on the show?

Let us know your questions when you register for the panel event, or tweet your questions to @CAPRAustralia with the hashtag #onthesaucetv.
