    <p>Yep, is alot of fluid to drink of anything, let alone beer.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Best I ever did 30 cans of Lion Red in a 12 hour period when I was about 22 in the hot sun on NY Eve at Paihia while playing volleyball, swimming and impressing chicks (and before any smart arse comments, I musta been doing somethign right that day...) </p>

    <p>at the oktoberfest, after many years of, er, losing my bearings shortly after dusk, the pace I found that kept me upright was 1 stein an hour. Doesnt sound like much (cause at the start, the first stein is typically gone in under 20 minutes) but I found if I paced myself, I could get through 12 steins and still be upright and coherent. slow and steady finishes the race.</p>

    <p>Concrete playground is good on Akl as well  Their top 10's are always interesting and they seem to give a more interesting "whats on" guide.  Well worth signing up for their e=shots IMO</p>

    You're all talk. A couple of weeks ago you stayed about 5 minutes walk from at least half a dozen of the best craft beer bars in NZ and apparently visited none. [emoji12]

    <p>At least four of those pubs are within walking distance of my place and the one in Newtown I've been into ... but only to use their loo.</p>

    <p>You see this quite a bit on ski fields too. Parents with kids skiing between their legs and going everywhere their parent does including over big drops. It always looks amazing and they are setting the kid up well.</p>

    <p>Probably not...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Dr Alan Worsley, Cancer Research UK’s senior science communications officer, told <em>The Independent</em>: “There’s no indication from this work that these particular antibiotics would kill cancer cells in patients, or what sort of side effects there might be. <em><strong>Some antibiotics have been known to have anti-cancer effects since the 1960s and are a well-established part of cancer treatment today,</strong></em> alongside other chemotherapies.”</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>One of those where scientist  outside field has idea, says "I bet no ones tried this!!". Those in field have, for 50 years.  </p>
