Good idea. I always feel a lot less like fighting after "only" drinking 24 cans of lager. It's these mindless idiots who insist on drinking 30 cans and more that cause the problems for the rest of us.

[Lorry]

I find that I might be in a fighting mood after 30 tinnies, but I can't stand up any more.

I think this is the wrong way round.  It should be you can't get into Bathurst unless you've got a slab under one arm

If I were an Aussie brewer, I'd start selling cans that were at least pint-sized, if not litre-sized!

That way 24 cans really would last you a while

"Wine-drinkers must also show restraint, facing a four litres per day limit."
No mention about cider then 
By the way, do you think that means 24 cans plus 4 litres of wine?

Wine-drinkers must also show restraint, facing a four litres per day limit.

The Oz's are such Wine conusors.

Thats 4 x round meals a day!

That's 5.3 bottles a day.

Thats definatly the better option if you want to get p*ssed.

Thats based on 0.75 litre bottles, but we are talking about wine conasewars here, I'm sure they will be drinking those handy 1 litre bottle with those quality screw tops.

Easy to get off in the dark.

Ohh - this has just vaguely reminded me of a drunken conversation I had will an aussie motor racing fan in Leeds on Saturday about taking drink into Bathurst races ....

Now if I could only remember the details as I had intended I might be able to contribute something constructive to this thread.

But nope.......its gone

Ha .. at last a funny thread.... They cant drink properly anyway and their beer is sh*t! I suggest an English Stella promotion with lots of free samples. Chaos!
Possibly followed by a Jagermiester testing....

Read the blogs at the bottom of this - http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2009/oct/06/australian-fans-24-cans-beer

Good what they said about the food stand.

If Oz is anything like NZ you can't get cider.  Well, you can, but it's sh*t.

I think the problem is that real cider apples only grew in certain areas - theres a clump running from Somerset to Normandy, and a bit in Northern Spain

I did like the comment in the Guardian "Thats a lot of gnats to milk"

And has anyone tried drinking 4 litres of wine in a day?  According to my alcocalculator, if drinking 500ml per hour, you're ready for a fight after 1 litre, confused at 3 litres, paralytic at 4 litres, but close to death at 5 litres.
