Race fans in Australia headed towards the Bathurst 1000 – a three-day race featuring touring cars with V8 engines and set to begin this week — are going to find their plans for wild drunken rowdiness slightly hindered. That’s because, based on bad recent experiences, the police are trying to crack down on binge drinking.
Assistant Police Commissioner Alan Clarke explained that “Police respect people’s rights to enjoy the race weekend, but will promptly act when the law is broken. Every year thousands of race fans attend and enjoy the event and police will not allow their safety to be compromised by a drunken few. As such we will once again be focusing on alcohol-related behavior.”
If you’re attending the race the police will be insisting that you stick to no more than one case of beer a day. Wine drinkers are also expected to exercise restraint, limiting themselves to a mere 4 liters a day. There are ways around this crackdown though, for instance, if you opt for lower-alcohol beer you can bring in 36 cans instead! SWEET! Take THAT rules!
Obviously, now the fans are upset, feeling their rights are being under attack. After all, how can you possibly enjoy car racing if you aren’t shit-faced hammer-drunk? And when I say drunk, I don’t mean that weak-assed pussy way of getting drunk on JUST 24 cans of beer, I’m talking 60+ beers per person per day. I mean, these are AUSTRALIANS, 24 cans of beer is necessary just to get the saliva going in the morning.
