    I always thought 24 cans was a "tray" no? Fúck it im half way into a slab of miller. I've been enjoying the deals on Guinness too. That €16 for 8 cans was taking the piss TBH.

    When buying cans I'd usually just knock up to the local grocers and purchase 6 cans of Beer for 10 bucks, I'm buying a slab of said beer in supermarket for 24 bucks at the moment. How much will said slab cost in said supermarket after Christmas or do they stop stocking slabs then or what?...

    To be honest, I'm better off paying 10 for 6, if there's only 6, I can only drink 6. When there's 24...

    "when there's 24..." what ?

    If you buy 6 fish fingers, you can eat 6
    If you buy 24 do you eat all 24 ?

    If you can't stop drinking after 6 and leave some there for next week then you have a drinking problem

    You'll just say to yourself 'i'll have one for the road'. Then after a while this becomes twice of what you wanted to drink. Then walla you wake up the next morning in your jocks painted blue in a cell .

    If you have a problem limiting your drinking to an amount you're happy with depending on how much is in your shed/kitchen whatever then go on spend more it's worth it.

    Loads of cheap drink doesn't suit you, I have the mentality of "using something up" because I have it, if you're like me then just avoid keeping anything in the house that makes you think like that.

    I usually buy 12.5 gram pouches of tobacco but when I went on holidays and got a few 40 gram pouches man did I get through them quickly, when there is more there I consume more. Doesn't mean he has a drinking disorder maybe disordered drinking not for me to decide.

    In my cosmopolitan area we hear slab on the Northside and tray on the Southside, slab spoken in any dialect, but tray spoken in an upper English upper middle class accent, rather like Mrs Bucket calling herself Mrs Bouquet in a TV sitcom.

    O' Briens have had 24 cans of Tuborg for €20 for months at this stage. Great deal for a lager that's superior to most of the other mainstream ones.

    That's as extreme as the opposite extreme.

    Alcohol in itself isn't "bad" or "poison"; the attitude that some people have towards it is, as is their bull**** macho abuse of it.

    But neither of those is the alcohol's fault.

    You don't blame sugar for the fact that some people abuse it and turn themselves diabetic, do you ?

    Very valid point alcohol has been a part of human culture for centuries.

    ten bucks for six beers, aye..barely covers the ammo or the petrol to transport them.

    bucks... cop on to yourself. really annoyed hearing slab and buck in the same post...

    Tell that to Jesus, he turned water into the best wine of the day for his Mother during a wedding after the guests had quaffed ALL the wine which should have been sufficient for the ceremony.

    It was considered an insult to one's guests to run out of alcohol and whilst Jesus questioned his Mother's request, he believing himself above this frivolity, nonetheless, made the best wine his Mother's friend's guests ever had and they spent the rest of the night filling the jugs with water and bringing them to the boy.

    I was in Lidl yesterday searching for said beer but, alas, the shelf was empty. So I asked the skinny, pretty Russian girl who was walking past if they had any of this fine beer in their stores.
    'Aye vill chyeck' she said and trotted off for a look. Then, somewhat suddenly I was surrounded by four other men, seemingly unknown to each other..
    'Here for the deal on the beer yeah?'
    'Is she getting you more of the beer on special yeah?'
    etc.
    These wierdos were strolling up and down the aisle hoping that the beer would just appear on the shelf.
    As soon as the girl came out the four of them almost cornered the girl
    'I'll have a box of that as well'
    'Yeah eh, I'll have two boxes.'








    I suppose you had to be there really.

    Well the thing is one has to ask. On several 'special offers' in either Aldi or Lidl I went to several stores in the city only to be frustrated at not finding any, anywhere.

    In the last store I asked and got what I was looking for, I enquired as to why the item was not on display and she said you have to ask for the specials!

    OK.



    So you described it well. Very well TBH.

    I honestly thought Slab was an exclusively American term.

    I'd heard of Tray used once or twice...

    Can't believe no-one here calls them what me and virtually everyone I know has called them since I can remember... Crate!!!

    Tis strange!

    Crate for sure, but the real crate was 4 or 6 24 packs and then the pallet. But crate was / is still a common term.

    Crate/Slab/Tray : no matter as long as the price is €20 [or less] we won't argue :)
