Adelaide Shitzenfest now have plasic steins, which I can assure you do not rock. I went the last year that they had glass steins (still got it too) and I can certainly think of better ways to bide my time than standing in the full sun in a dustbowl for 45 minutes waiting for an overpriced Coopers.
Yeah but, not a lot happens in Perth and we're miles from anywhere so organisers of this kind of fiasco have a market desperate for a distraction. The cops must be dreading it. Given the level of tension that seems to go with events in Perth it's amazing the police allowed it.
Yeah but, one of the problems seems to be that there's a lack of quality but not overpriced venues for the "mature" drinker so we all stay at home and drink quality beer. Thus an industry has grown up around getting the immature male drinker shitfaced. Some younger drinkers have wised up and get shitfaced before they get ripped off which adds to the mayhem. Alcohol will always produce a certain amount of unpredictable behaviour but putting people in a pressure cooker doesn't seem to help. I think the NB micro is a good idea as it'll start to bring in a different crowd but obviously the cops are seeing what happens ATM and extrapolating.
You have so nailed it ! Pressure cooker = explosions. we need to get past this concentrated drinking BS and become more liberal with our drinking laws. All in favour say I or Eye.
