WOooohey!
So I just got back from the pub with my Uncle and his friends. I learned a very good lesson: Don't go in the deep end unless you know how to swim. In Australia we have a tradition called 'shout', a 'shout' is where you buy the drinks for everyone, so you buy the drinks, then the next person buys the drinks, and so on... So to keep in the order going I was downing my beer to try and keep up with everyone. 3 schooners and a pot later I was going pretty good. A schooner is a glass of beer which is equal to about 1 and 1/2 cans, a pot is about 1 and 1/4. I'd downed all this in about an hour and a half... Normally I would have been fine doing it, but the beer out here is a bit stronger. It tastes a whole lot better too, goes down easy, tastes great, smells good, looks good... Hell, it gives me a boner just thinking about it. Anyway, I got home and was pretty toasted.. Not drunk, but tipsy... Where you have a bit of delayed reaction for a sec, then everything's good. I'd suggest that anyone who wants to come to Australia should do it, anyone who wants to drink down here in Australia should do it, and anyone who just wants beer should leave their name, address, and some money, I'll send them some real beer.... Miller, Heinekin, Bud, and Rolling Rock doesn't have anything on this stuff, it's great. Anyway, I'm out... I hope you all are having as much fun as I am!
