Spectators are limited to one 24-can case each of full-strength beer, although if revellers are willing to consume lower-strength alcohol (3.5% abv or less) they will be entitled to a more satisfactory 36 cans.<\/p>\n

Wine lovers have not escaped the heavy hand of the law either, being restricted to a punitive four litres a day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
