I was totally shocked at how expensive beer was in Australia. You'd think a nation of drinkers like that would revolt.
24 cans of probably Australia's best known Cheap beer, Victoria Bitter, will set you back $44 AUD at the CHEAPEST place near my house. If you go to a pub rather than a bottle shop, or even 20 minutes out of the city, you would be paying $50
Any "decent" beer costs around $50-55 for 24 bottles/cans.
(in before someone asks about fosters, noone drinks that here)
so i guess the australian government qualifies for the stingy thread
