Yes Mancie, It was a Rite of Passage, 15 years old and going in the Cattle Market and the Australian, think the Cattle Market was Lion's and the Australian was Thwaites, we had to drink near the back door so that we could make a rapid exit. Mind you the beer was only 3.5% or so in those days - mid '50s.
