Australian police are gearing up for an annual crackdown on motor-racing fans - limiting race-goers to 24 cans of beer a day.

The BBC reported that police at the Bathurst 1000, a 1,000km (621 mile) race with V8 engine cars, would restrict fans to drinking one "slab" (24 cans) of beer a day.

Wine drinkers, the BBC noted, were not exempt, and were only allowed four liters a day.

Below are some of the more alcohol soaked images of previous years at the Bathurst 1000.

If we followed their lead maybe we wouldn't want to go off attacking other countries all the time.

What is it with this Australian 'Mate" thing. A little latent homosexuality? No wonder it is so easy to pick up their women............. You just have to be fairly sober and talk with them.

Famous male Australian foreplay move. "Hey, wake up".

Inmate?

You do know Australia started as a prison colony, don't you?

Just kidding, to translate for you, mate in Aussie means buddy in American. From the dutch word maat, I believe.

And when American men are bosom buddies, is that latent, too?

Someone would have to wake me up the next day and softly tell me who won my hangover would be huge.

I never realised just how oppressive the government in OZ was until reading this. You have my sympathy. (A whole slab of it!)

Me and my mates will survive, one slab and two bottles of JD hidden in the boot of the car should get us through one day.
