I used to head to Moorabbin in the late 80's early 90's with my Saints supporting mates, I think it was open slather in the late 80's, by the early nineties it was 2 open cans at a time, which after watching under 19's, reserves and seniors was enough alcohol to enable you to drunkenly climb out of the cesspit that was the animal enclosure up into the St Kilda members area and spend the evening at the Saints night club, fun days.Very nice memories of mum packing the esky for Dad and my sibling and I to go watch SAINTERS down at Moorabbin Oval, tinnies, hot coffee in the thermons, and a little cheeky brown stuff too.
And a pack of 20 Peter Jackson Super Mild if you don't mind!!!!!
"good ol' days" when you could have an open tinnie next to you on the drive back home down Wickham road.
Nanny state we live in.

You still can. "Coffee" in a ThermosWhen was it the last year we could bring alcohol into the grounds like the mcg
You need a big flask for a six pack though.As if most people still don't! That's what they invented flasks for! Always take a flask.
If you have enough cash for the Harrison room etc you can get what ever you want, AFL cant have the riff raff drinking full strength alcohol, as we are all violent drunks apparently.I recall reading it was around 1980.
Someone either died or nearly died at Princes Park around that time which was the catalyst for the ban.
My question would be - when did they stop selling heavy beer at the MCG for night games?
One foam eskie full of ice and beer each, we must have contributed heavily to the World plastic problems with all those smashed foam eskies.According to wiki (not the most reliable source i know), BYO alcohol was banned from 4 May 1992, and from the same date a two can limit came in.

It's fairly widely known, but in the mid 70's alcohol limits came in at the cricket- each patron was limited to bringing in 24 cans!
Why can't we drink drive - "Nanny state".Very nice memories of mum packing the esky for Dad and my sibling and I to go watch SAINTERS down at Moorabbin Oval, tinnies, hot coffee in the thermons, and a little cheeky brown stuff too.

It's ridiculous.Why can't we drink drive
Your post was your father drinking an esky of beer plus spirits at the footy, then having a beer while driving home. That's killed a lot of people. If a "Nanny State" keeps your drunk father off the road, I'm ok with that.It's ridiculous.
As long as you're under the legal BAC you should be able to have a nice VB while you're listening to Triple M on the drive home. No different at all from a having a can of coke-a-cola, it's probably healthier for you too.
Edit: Can't even crack a beer on the train in anymore. Not only that, if you have skin colour like mine and get caught quenching your thirst on the Flinders St Express, there's a very good chance you're gonna have a night in a cell and even end up dead.
But, no, it's not nanny state. Please officer tell me when and where I can have a beer, thank you officer!!!
Nah, you just went off "half-cocked" like the total moron that you are.Your post was your father drinking an esky of beer plus spirits at the footy
Yeah I got a big problem missing 20 the football match I paid to see every time I feel a little thirst come on.If your sneaking grog into the footy, you have a problem.
Because while you may have the control to have one tinny on your drive home, others will have plenty more. To throw the "nanny state" blanket over the banning drinking while driving is embarrassingly naïve.It's ridiculous.

Forget the open container bit. I'm calling Victoria a nanny state because it's a fn' nanny state.To throw the "nanny state" blanket over the banning drinking while driving is embarrassingly naïve..
You've made a goose of yourself advocating drink driving. Time to take your loss and sit this one out.Forget the open container bit. I'm calling Victoria a nanny state because it's a fn' nanny state.
