Default Alcohol Question.

Just how can anyone here get done for drink driving or being pissed in the street, the price of beer's and spirits here is ridiculous.
We can only afford to go for the cheap $5 a bottle local piss and thats what it is, bottled beers like water, and the local pubs charge waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for a pint.
Hubby can't wait for his brew kit to land and get pissed in his own yeasty sugary % proofed way
Just why is it so expensive though?

You think alcohol is expensive. What about everything else.

Because you're in Perth. Prices have just gone up in my local. $3.90 a schooner now for VB/Tooheys/Carlton type stuff.

Wine isn't bad from the bottle shops, half decent stuff is better value than in the UK anyway.

You need to look out for the dicounts.Woolworths,Bws or liquorland offer 20% discount on 6 bottles every now and then.I only find it expensive when I go to bars.

It's because the drink drive limits are lower and the beer is stronger.

You can various brands of cheap box wine for every day use. $10 for 4 litres.

We have white wine as a spritzer though, 2/3 wine 1/3 soda water with ice.

Get your home brew ingredients from BigW. They are cheapest I have found so far.

They also sell home brew kits if you can't wait.
