Melbourne is weird. They have pots and pints. I wasnt used to that whole system. And i guess what kinda place you go to.

Budz, I mostly buy jugs, which are about 1 litre I believe. And then I guess there's a handle, which is a pint (500ml or so).

$1.80 for a pot at the Waterloo Bay Hotel.

What's the go with the glass size names over here anyway - in NZ it's fairly obvious; glass, half pint, pint, jug, etc. Here it's weird :?
Melbourne sounds better 8)

You kiwis still use only half nips in your drinks? Every time I go to nz, I have to order a double

 

[Paullyboy]

In QLD it goes:

Pot - which im guessing is your version of glass or half pint
Schooner - between a pot and a pint (not available in many QLD pubs)
Pint - straight forward
Jug - 1125 mls


Ah the amount of times ive said "Jug of XXXX thanks mate"

Going to be doing it in about 12 hours time too, woohoo

 

[Crusader]

Not many places do jugs and pints in QLD though do they?

Ha ha no Houdini you guys are just alkies and have double nips!

 

[Narcissist]

Oh yeah most bars will have jugs in QLD, pints are fairly common as well. Isn't it amazing that no matter how drunk you get you never spill your jug on the way back from the bar. Liquid Gold.

In Perth its

Jug roughly $12
Pint roughly $5-6
Middie roughy $3

bowling clubs are always the best for cheaper beer..
my mates and i used to go there all the time.
and we got real good at bowls too!! an excellent game indeed.

schooners and midis is the best system going around.

a midi of full strength = 1 standard drink
a schooner of light = 1 standard drink
a schooner of full = 1.5 standard drinks

it just doesnt get any easier.
however i dont see the point of keeping track of standard drinks anymore, ZERO alcohol for P platers.. 1 beer takes you over the old .02, so i dont see the point of it. cant take medicine or use mouth wash, bullshit..
