Have you ever witnessed a "rally of alcoholic drinks"? When you visit the pubs y bars from Australia you will be amazed at the speed with which Australian boys drink. This habit of drinking fast comes from the time when the places of sale of alcoholic beverages closed their doors at 6 in the afternoon. As the working day ended at 5 pm… Australians only had 60 minutes to have a good drink!

Beer is the alcoholic beverage most preferred by Australians, who tend to order it "cold". Second, wine follows, remember that Australia It is one of the countries where the wine industry plays a leading role.

The legislation of Queensland prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages in places such as supermarkets or similar, restricting the possibility of selling alcohol only to Bottle Shops (bars or pubs).

Bottle Shops usually open their doors from 10 am to 8 pm. It should be noted that you can buy alcoholic beverages in some licensed cafes or restaurants, but they will charge you up to 4 times more for the drink! There are also other places that are not licensed to sell drinks, but have a license called "THAT", what does it mean Bring your own. What does this mean? That although they do not have permission for alcohol, they allow you to bring your own drink.
