    It’s Australia. We have a very heavy alcohol tax on everything except wine.

      Bottleo worker told me it was the second highest in the world. Except for wine. It’s a bit insane these days, a day festival runs me way too much money to get buzzed, not even drunk. I remember going to BDO back in the day with $70 and being blind by the end of the day.

        Benefit of being a lightweight in Australia is I don’t have to bankrupt myself to get drunk
