Sport and Alcohol: Understanding the Mix (Conference)
The Centre for Studies in Sport and Exercise at Massey University are running a conference entitled ‘Sport and Alcohol: Understanding the Mix’ on February 8–10, 2005, in Palmerston North, New Zealand.

  • Social issues (eg, youth, gender, culture, socialisation)
  • Health issues (social marketing, holistic health issues)
  • Performance issues (the effects of alcohol on sport performance)
  • Business issues (sponsorship, management, marketing, legal issues, event management, media)
