Racing fans "limited" to 24 beers a day!

[BBShark]

What is the world coming to :beer::

Adult fans at one of Australia's most popular motor sport races, the Bathurst 1000, will be limited to one "slab" of beer a day -- or 24 375 ml cans -- as police focus on reducing alcohol-related crime.

The 24-can rule would also be placed on mixed drinks for the V8 car race starting Thursday which draws thousands to the rural town of Bathurst in eastern New South Wales state, the NSW police said Tuesday.

No, the race is 1000km (about 620 miles). Race takes about 6 hours so its a 4bph (4 beers per hour) or 100mph average :drink:

well I dunno what '375 ml' works out to (& I ain't gonna try to figure it out right now) but if Aussie beer is like European beer as compared to American pisswater, 24 beers should be equal to a bit more than a quart of Jack Daniels. Which is probably a fairly reasonable limit for drinking during a 6 hour race.... but that's just my humble opnion.....
