Limited?

October 8, 2009

From the Reuters article appropriately entitled “Racing fans ‘limited’ to 24 beers a day”:

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 [about 12.7 oz] 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.

But more restrained spectators would be able to slake their thirst, if not their craving for alcohol, with up to 36 cans of low or mid-strength beer.
