Yeah, forget the glass. I’ll drink it out of the  pitcher 

Me and Mike Jackson took a couple of long loads from Hirschfield Steel in Lynchburg down to Hirschfield Steel in San Angelo, Texas one time. After we got unloaded we went to a motel because we were going to load a load there the next day going to West Virginia. We went down to the lounge to have beer and it seemed like everybody in there was walking around drinking beer out of a punch bowl. I thought "man, I like beer, but these people must REALLY like beer", those were some serious beer drinkers at that place.

Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

People in Australia were very serious drinkers when I was a young fella doing my apprentice ship

One electrician struggled to get a screwdriver in a terminal in the morning and was no drama once the pubs openned

It left a lasting impression me, I don't ever want end up like that

He was bright red in the face and his skin  was all puffy, lighting a smoke was a struggle 

It was pretty normal to drink during work hours

Tuesday was free beer night from the bosses back at the office 

Drink driving rules became very in forced and blokes started loosing their lincences, I wasn't old enough to have a license then and they were trying to give me a work vehicle as the tradesman had done their ticket

One bloke in William street Melbourne was feeling a little ill and wound the window down for a yawn, poor bloke threw up on the cop car beside him

I doubt many of those blokes made it to old age 

Another bloke was in the Airforce reserves and was rotten as chop tearing up the Hume Hwy between Melbourne and Sydney, heading Meln way 

Coppers could catch him in his GT Falcon, the parked semi's across the hwy to stop him

He finally stopped and apparently when the copper walked up to him he wound the window down and dropped the copper and took off again ha ha 

Serious drinking was very common in Australia once 

Or the Darwin Stubbie, what we call a small bottle of beer, like a Coke cam sized beer

The Darwin stubby is huge,2  1/4 liters 

Over half a gallon
