I just listen to my music whenever I'm eating alone, or chilling in the pub after work.
Then again when I'm in the pub after work I'm in my hi-vis and covered in a patina of paint dust so I look like a technicolour hobo, so maybe they think it'd just be better not patronizing me.

>where should I start?
Get a physical job as a labourer, tradie or landscaper.
Work all week in the middle of summer.
Friday afternoon, go to the local store and buy a 24-pack of the cheapest beer they have.
Put it in the fridge until it's icy cold.
Drink it in the shower as you clean the sweat, dirt and grime off of yourself.
Turn the aircon on when you're done showering and enjoy.

'Straya here
Everyone's expected to drink at least a little daily.
If not then you're some straight-edge poofter.
Tradies usually drink the most, at 2pm on a friday it's the "young fella's" (ie: youngest bloke on the work site) job to go to the drive-thru and pick up 2-3 cases of beer to bring back to the work site. Then everyone spends the last 3-4 hours of the work week drinking the lot.

People fukken love calling in sick on Fridays here too, to the point a lot of bosses will even force you to take random fridays off. In such a case, you'll usually sneak out early like 2pm on the Thursday, pack up your ute and go drive up the beach to camp (ie: drink) for the weekend.

Here, the first building of a new village or town is always a pub. A town is born when a pub is built on a desert highway, usually at crossroads where 2 tracks intersect.
There are hundreds of outback "villages" that are literally population: 5, 1 pub and 2 houses, nothing else around for 500km+ but guarantee that pub will be full almost every night.

Everyone starts drinking underage. I did from about 15. When my brother turned 16 my parents just started buying him a sixpack every weekend to enjoy after his part time job on the weekends.

People here are generally un-trusting of non-drinkers (with the exception of people that might/could literally die from it due to health issues). Someone who doesnt drink is seen as having a secret agenda or something to hide that they dont want to let slip. Usually they'll be overlooked in life; uninvited to social events and never promoted in jobs because of this.


Our drinking culture was born from the colonial prison colony days. Currency had no worth back then and the guards were no better off than the prisoners they were guarding. Corruption was rife with rum being the de facto currency of the country for decades.

Mike Nolan is on his way to your house with a 24-pack of beers, a pack of winnie blues and a bag of weed.
What do you cook for him?
Would you keep it simple by firing up the BBQ or would you do something fancier?

not even.
they mostly hang around construction sites or industrial areas, at least here in Australia.
9 or 10am comes, every fatfuck construction worker on $60/hour goes to the nearest van to blow $15 on an iced coffee and a meat pie for smoko
