What the hell?

What type of world do we live in? Will somebody please think of the children, and all that jazz.

16 cans a day? I normally drink 8 cans before going out for a few more.

16 seems a lot but I reckon I could get through that no bother if I started around 7 and finished in the wee hours.


I am going and I will probably bring 48 cans of fozzy ozzy and if I run out I can drive to the nearest place in the morning.

So people will smuggle in vodka and other higher alcohol drinks and will be even more hammered and aggressive.

When are people ever going to learn?

I was at Secret Garden Party recently and the limit there was 12 cans for the whole weekend.

Exactly, OP thread title fail.

It's a 3 day event, drinking all day every day 48 cans would be barely enough. Can you bring in spirits? If you could bring in a litre of vodka as well as the 48 cans it should see you through.

I suppose when people stop getting smashed at every occasion and also stop stabbing each other and getting generally wasted, groped and blow jobbing/blow jobbed by way of a side effect, then "the man" might ease off a bit.

Not that that sort of thing goes on at the terribly polite Electric Picnic, did they choose the weekend that the scrotes go back to school deliberately does anyone know?

Some men are bigger than others.
As are some slabs.

I am talking 1980's Southampton with 50kg cement bags; not this pussy footing 20kg bags of cement and 24 can slabs with a sup taken out of each one. I am talking a real slab.

I am convinced they have taken a chug out of each can in the modern day 24 can slab. No doubt. And they also took some of the sweets out of my christmas tin of roses over the years.

Translation: I'm talking shite.

You have ruined my day with your poor choice of thread title, sir. I have little time for this type of japery. I bid you good day!

I would refer to 48 cans as the bones of one slab.
Some smartarse here has pointed out that it is two slabs; semantics if you ask me.

Ok, we will change it to TWO SLABS A DAY, it's all the same, it is still 48 cans.

Lets just call 24 cans a case, and 48 a slab?

Settled.
Though I do get the shock of reading the thread title and thinking a man was limited to 24 cans, when it was actually 48.

Hate to burst your bubble but I am pretty certain that has always been the case at EP. Rarely enforced, but a rule nonetheless.

If you want really savage searches try Coachella, 3.5 hours in 36C heat to search 12 cars, yes twelve. Everything out of the car and unpacked, and I mean everything.

EP is a pushover compared to that.

Bring your slab, then go buy another in Stadbally, then pick up the one you preordered at the EP off-licence. If you need more beer than that, you can actually buy it in premeasured doses at the things called bars in the arena itself.

If you can't figure out how to get f.cked up at music festival you really, really shouldn't be going.

Man, going to burner festivals has made me jaded of people who cannot manage the simplest piece of organisation. Try hauling all your sh.t into the desert and then hauling it out again. Including water. Then you can complain about beer.

My name is URL

Back in the days of Homelands you'd be ****ed out for asking security about cans... mainly because most of them were selling yokes.

There is hope however. At Oppi KOppi, they ran a service where you could order a beer via your smartphone and it would be delivered by a drone who would track the GPS of the order.

The 48 can rule has always been there. I think it's loads of drink. They let you bring cans into the concert site after 11pm which is pretty cool. Sure other festivals will not let you bring in any cans ever. These big festivals need to keep the drink sponsors happy as well.
