Thanks for the link, Brit. Geez, I hope my family's ok. They're no where near the ocean so it should be OK.

  Fosters? Dude. It's the national drink there. It's all they ever drink there.

 You would know more than me for sure.

Just the Aussie's I got to know over the years through work said that in Australia, the locals drink anything but Fosters. Its reserved for tourists and Canada.
