@Crucial haven't heard "pony" in years BTW. We called them "sevens" for which I have no reasoning as they're actually 5 fl oz.
South Australia: fucking it up for everyone else.
My experience was that it was different in every state. Schooners, middys, pints. That article says the term pint (for a proper pint is everywhere except SA but as you know, ask for a pint in NSW/ACT and they will wonder what you want. Also only ever heard of a pony in SA/NT

@Crucial said in Beer thread:
In NZ we do this weird shit where we call whatever the bar uses as their 'big' glass a pint. Hardly ever is that actually a pint. Closest probably about 500ml
yep. And sometimes 440 ml, which is nothing like a pint.

Google tells me a pint is 473.176 mls. Most ‘big’ craft beers at the pub are 440ml as opposed to the 285ml option.
only in 'murica!
in UK it's a proper 568 ml glass
Snap

Ah righto, Imperial vs US.
I could do 10 pretty easy in the UK but I was a massive pisshead in those days. Would be much more of an effort these days.
It works out just over 17 handles in NZ.....also not taking into account the litany of much stronger beers on the market.

jesus, no kidding.
Mind you, they have lower alcohol beers too - 4% is a sessionable beer. Also, cool and not too fizzy makes easy drinking. We paced ourselves pretty well on Saturday at Beervana, and made sure we ate and drank water. No one got munted, and felt pretty good the next day - just tired

Yeah I deliberately chose a couple of sours cos they had the much lower alcohol content. That helped us pace ourselves. I also had three separate meals during the day !
Not sure off the top of my head the strongest beer I had, possibly the pecan pie one or a scotch ale, both just under 10% from memory.

Wedding anniversary today. Getting the kids now, dropping them to the in-laws, then have drinks, dinner, and a hotel stay. 30 hours of glorious no-kids time to drink and eat and get rejected.
