Alcohol has been a problem in New Zealand for a while, and it may be time for a reality check. 

A study out of the United States found only 54% of adults consume alcohol, the lowest ever recorded since tracking began in 1939.

While a lot of people will be running around doing some last minute shopping for presents - they'll also be working out what to put on the table.

But as Kiwis, we waste almost as much as we eat.

A survey by Love Food Hate Waste NZ found that binned leftovers made up 42% of food waste across the holiday season, and too-much cooked food making up a further 26.1%.

Chef Allyson Gofton joins Tim Beveridge to discuss the less-wasteful alternatives to staple Christmas dishes.
