'''Australia'''

* An Australian? Beer. No name beer, served in a glass, no matter where they are. Most Australians drink either Carlton Draught, or the variety of state beers which are only popular in each state and have only a vile taste in common. NSW- Tooheys New, Queensland- XXXX (which is where the name of the [[Discworld]]'s [[~~Literature~~/The ~~Lost~~ Continent|"lost continent"]] comes from), Victoria- VB (officially Victoria Bitters, but nobody calls it that), WA- Swan Draught, Tasmania- Boags or Cascade, SA- West End. Inevitably, the beer is drunk either straight from the can or from a "stubby" (a short, squat glass bottle, in contrast to the "longneck").

** Not so! "Though Angus loves his whisky dear/And Paddy likes his tot/The Aussie has no drink at all/He drinks the bloody lot!"

** The main Australian drink is known as "piss". It's a generic term for any alcohol from finest claret to beer to absinthe to vanilla extract. Which might or might not slow down service if the bartender happened to be American.
