To any Aussie worth the title, four drinks is an appetizer.
Ha! Like Australians are going to take that seriously...

i met a couple aussies vacationing in the u.s. once. they seemed to be floored by the idea of 5% beer and how easy it was to get it in the states. i laughed in their faces.
I’ll be binge drinking all this weekend.
This is simply a government virus reclassifying an existing issue to create a bigger bureaucracy.
Oh good heavens......Aussies must be laughing to death in their pubs over this.....
Wasn’t that an enlistment bonus at Tun Tavern?

Four mid-size beers? That’s the first sip.
Good-bye Australia. It was nice knowing you.
You are following England down the road to hell; tyranny by bureaucracy.

I will not vote for Obama because he is to red for my liking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have had friends who have done business in Australia. From what I have been told, 4 beers may be what they have at lunch if they have to go back to the office.
Crikey, that’s the child’s portion.
Aussies don't laugh when they drink. They sing.
