Australia does not win too many plaudits from us for beer. Rather like the US 15 years ago decent beer is hard to come by in bars and you may need a bigger bottle store for a decent choice from smaller brewers. Tim has also noticed that each place he ends up serves the beer in smaller glasses, from the UK's 20oz (590ml) pints, through the US 16oz (475ml), the slightly smaller NZ “handle” and now the even more diminutive Aussie “schooner”. Time to upscale back to the UK I think!
From the public health point of view the strict drink driving laws here do mean that drinks are well labeled by strength and in “standard drinks” for ease of comparison.
