Yeah man, $7 to $8 are the normal jug prices, unless by some coincidence I end up drinking there or looking at the prices on the same day or two every week xD This is at Sydney Uni Village bar, which is not really the Uni bar (the uni bar itself kinda sucks, pretty average prices which, for Sydney, are way too high) but accommodation that you can stay at only if you attend Sydney Uni (there are 1,2,3,4,5 bedroom apartments and also dorms). I can't go have a brew between classes either cos it is kinda far from where I study (I only really ever go in the engineering section which is at the southeast corner of the uni grounds, and the bar is in the north).
I think this place can do good prices because we have a compulsory $20 a week payment when living here that goes onto credit on a card which you can then use to buy stuff from a couple places within the village, like a café kinda place (has takeaway coffee, pizzas, stirfry, burgers, steaks, etc.) a convenience store, and the bar. Obviously you only really go to the convenience store and cafe once in a while so mostly everyone spends the compulsory money at the bar They have guaranteed sales and lots of students live there.
Also - I have never tried baileys. What's it like? The mint one seemed particularly appetising, but then I don't go for liqueurs than you need to have with milk, because 1) may as well have a milkshake cos you're not gonna get drunk on it because 2) it doesn't mix with any other alcohol. I tried Frangelico which is an almond based liqueur - tastes good but you can't have more than a couple glasses cos it is rich and it is hard to drink a lot of milk. Nice for Christmas parties, though, because everyone will like it and you can still get merry on it
Not familiar with CUT, but then I only lived in Perth for 1 year while I was in grade 3 and then visited for a week when I was 13 xD Nice weather You guys have a beer called Swan or something there, right? Is it more tonicular than Toohey's and VB?
