Liberation Day Drinking

The total ban on alcohol on the streets of town has caused mixed opinions. Some welcome it whereas other say that it is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Should we consider adopting this Australian idea as a sensible middle ground?

LINKEY

strewth !

Blimey,,,,, Is aussie beer not as strong as UK beer then?

Oh... Good avator by the way Spirit, very apt!!

Razz reckons (and he is somewhat of an expert on the subject!) that every time they put his favourite tipple (in Australia) up in price (Carlton Draught) they put the strength down!!! He couldn't understand why the Bavarian lager he was drinking here at first knocked him out - until I told him he was drinking the same number of cans and the strength was 9% - go figure LOL

Australian beer isn't strong, and despite what they like to think the Aussies are terrible drinkers. Many a time I've had to pour them into a cab after a session on VB or Swan.

That said, there aren't many nationalities who can drink a born and bred Guernseyman under the table. Not sure if that's something to be proud of or not, but we've certainly got a well deserved reputation for guzzling beer.
