Driver straps in beer, leaves kid loose

Courtesy of the ABC
Police in Alice Springs say they were appalled to find a driver put a seatbelt around a carton of beer - but left a five-year-old child unrestrained.

Officers stopped the unregistered sedan on the Ross Highway south of Alice Springs on the weekend.

They found the child sitting in the back seat without a seatbelt, but the driver had put a belt around a slab of beer.

Wed, 2008-05-14 11:40

Yep, the new Gov laws will be banning any premix drinks over 7% so all those high % ones will be upto 6.9% only and you'll pay more also.......bullsh!t!

binge!

Wed, 2008-05-14 11:47

They have 3 months to flush out the high % stuff and this is their way
to reduce binge drinking but imo binge drinkers dont spend that $$
anyway on premix's. Ironically they'll still be able to buy a bottle of
full strength stuff (not mixed) and neck that with coke...........go figure!

Stop whining

Wed, 2008-05-14 11:55

about the cost of booze, We brew our own at one of the diy breweries it works out less thean a dollar a stubby using your own bottles i.e $146.00 for about 150 stubbies or if you want to can it you get over 100 500ml cans for about 35 dollars extra it taste better than the normal shite no chemicals etc means no hangover...however much you drink
No comparison in my mind

agree fingers, i always thought about doing it myself, might be the time to get into it i think, but thats for beer, spirits are different and i prefer bourbon or scotch sometimes over beer, no help there, just buy and bottle and mix it strong i sayTongue out

sounds ok , so you dont have

Wed, 2008-05-14 12:16

sounds ok , so you dont have the home one you go to one of those places like u-brew-it or something? and those prices you quoted are for the premium type beers like crownies etc?

fishy fingers's picture

Thats right mako

Wed, 2008-05-14 12:24

we go to u brew it in rockingham the one we do is a premium but they have a lot of different ones cheaper.
they also have a bottle bank where you can buy bottle bank bottles from them, a dozen or so, fill them with your beer and then swap for what they have in the bank it's a good way of sampling without going to the expense of paying for a whole brew and then finding out it's not to your taste

To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

home brew!

Might be waiting a few years

Might be waiting a few years before you get anything out of it. Maybe a moonshine version is a lot quicker though. Might be quicker to put you in the hospital quicker though.

You can buy stills

Wed, 2008-05-14 14:38

And all the gear to make burbon, scotch, butterscotch snapps, etc (About $700 all up for the full set up)

costs about $5 a Litre

It is illegal though to make it, but not to buy the gear.

Wed, 2008-05-14 14:47

a mate of mine used to make his own spirits... the liquid comes out clearer than water and you just add your own flavour...his used to come out at about 96-97% and then he just water it down 50 50 add the flavour and presto. bloody nice drop to. he explained to me how he does it all and what goes in but i cant rememeber all of it. i know there was a shit load of sugar in it though.

Wed, 2008-05-14 14:50

yeah along time ago i used to make some of my own sambucca, used to use that some sort of essence, hoyts brand i think, and yeah was a huge amount of sugar in it and the longer it was left the stronger it got

NoWorries's picture

Totally different now

Wed, 2008-05-14 17:18

Those old essences that you mixed up got about a 20% mix

have a look at http://www.essencia.com.au/index.htm

There are quite a few places that sell them in Perth and as boofhead says you can water it down to what ever you want.

I have tried it and the burbon, Scotch and Butterscotch Snapps are great

As I said before it is illegal to distill alcohol but buying all the stuff isn't

I wouldn't ever do it because it is illegal Innocent
