In a warm and lucky country like Australia, a lot of cold beer has to be consumed to maintain the energy levels in the extreme heat. Consequently there are a lot of jokes about drinking in Australia. On this page are a few I have come across, and in the end of the page you can submit your own drinking joke.
Scientific Drinking Facts Here’s an email that has been sent around by friendly Australians who care about each other’s health and voluntarily look after one another: To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine .. and those who don't - as Ben Franklin said: “In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria. In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water every day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria found in faeces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine and beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health. Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.
Jokes are the sort of things that are made to be spread (all the jokes here have previously been published in emails and elsewhere), and I can't see anyone claiming copyright on a joke, but if you find a joke on this website that you think shouldn’t be published here, contact us and I will get rid of it.
Got some good jokes about drinking? Send them in via the link above, and if they are good jokes and not too dirty, I will put them up.
NOTE: This website is written in British English, which is the English we use in Australia. You will find words like "traveller", "harbour" and "realise", and they are all correct in the language used in Australia.
