Home brewing banned at Australian Antarctic stations

Such a toss really.

It was done for health reasons they say, because the recommended alcohol intake per person is no more than 10 standard drinks a week and rarara. They also said that if you have a few beers and go out stargazing in Tasmania and fall asleep, it is cold but if you do the same in Antarctica, they'll find your body the next day. Now I wonder how many times this has happened since they started brewing there 50 years ago? 

Looks like the nanny state extends to the furthest reaches of the world. I hope in line with health guidelines, members of parliament or embassies all over the world are also only allowed 10 standard drinks a week...

Yes, Aussie - the bloody hypocrisy is palpable - imagine those piss ant bureaucrats who've made this decision abiding by the same set of rules. Let's see how Canberra would run without the gas. It wouldn't.
