Damn right! This article may have been from a few months ago, but it always gives me a good feeling to see NZ say "No, we have a culture of our own here, f-off with that."

This is very telling from the article:

"A 2019 study from Australia ranked the harm caused by 22 commonly-used substances, both legal and illicit. That study awarded kava three harm points.

That same study awarded alcohol 77 points - the highest of any substance."

Three vs. seventy-seven!
