I've hear a few interviews over the years with people who've spent time down there and homebrewing gets mentioned a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 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... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
