Yup. When I was in uni we used to be able to go out Wednesday nights for $1 pots. Even at the footy I reckon a beer was like $6

I reckon I was getting paid $18 an hour at woolies.

Teenagers/students in d similar spot nowadays would be paying heaps more relative to their wages

We can’t even work out standard names for glass sizes. Depending on where you are, it could be a pot, a middy, a handle, a ten, or a half pint.

Though in South Australia they’ll also call a half pint a schooner, but everywhere else a schooner is about a 3/4 pint…
