24 Beer Limit? I Love Australia

Chalked body in Australia

If there was an outdoor car racing event in the United States and the planners of said event wanted to curb people’s alcohol consumption, those puss-bags would probably give us a 6-beer or 8-beer limit, MAX and we’d have to drink it in a beer garden away from the race (Oh that already happened) because someone was citing some sort of binige drinking study. Not the Australians, my friend.

Adult fans at one of Australia’s most popular motor sport races, the Bathurst 1000, will be limited to one “slab” of beer a day — or 24 375 ml cans — as police focus on reducing alcohol-related crime.

(24) 375ml cans is 2.37 GALLONS os beer. That’s each individual’s limit. I’m really starting to believe that this Australia place really was inhabited by crooks, castoffs and criminals. Where else would a collective group get together and bring order to a situation by limiting beer consumption in the hot outdoor sun to 2.37 gallons?

Funny thing, this 24 can rule though. Because it is about as lax as airport security in Brazil pre 9/11 (Believe me, I’ve been there post 9/11 and they have mannequins guarding the X-ray machine).

But more restrained spectators would be able to slake their thirst, if not their craving for alcohol, with up to 36 cans of low or mid-strength beer.

What?! 36?! That’s 3.5 gallons of beer! IF you behave yourself. Who on earth can be restrained after 24 beers other than Andre the Giant? I’ve tried to sleep with my own mother after 18 beers.

Police were also urging people traveling to Bathurst to drive safely and closely monitor their speed and fatigue.

Yeah because you wouldn’t want to crash before you had the chance to die of alcohol poisoning.
